Turmalina Gold Mine

Turmalina deposits lie in the Iron Quadrangle’s western part, which was earlier a central area for Brazilian hard rock gold mining operations. The property is located in the Pitangui area and represents characteristics of Archaean and Proterozoic age rocks.

The complex uses sub-level stoping mining with paste fill and rockfill methods. The Canadian company claims that gold mineralization at the property consists of sulfides, arsenopyrite, quartz, and micas gold particles.
