Brasnorte Manganese Project: Juna, State of Mato Grosso / Trial Mining License Update
The Brasnorte project assayed results of high-grade manganese between 51.4% to 55.9% over 4 mineral claims totaling 40,000 ha remain the Company’s focus in the area. MLB DE Nogueira, our in-country asset and exploration management team, will be traveling today to Cuiab to meet with the Departamento Nacional de Produo Mineral (“DNPM”) to discuss the final stages of approval of the trial mining license (Guia) in order obtain the environmental and operating licenses that the Company needs to further its exploration and trial production initiatives. The Guia documentation details how mining the manganese claims will be determined, using backhoes, rippers, draglines and other equipment. Once the first Guia is approved, Maxtech will coordinate the filing of the next Guia submissions on the remaining claims, so that the entire area in the Brasnorte Project can begin production.
