Man of War Project

The Man of War Project comprises four ANM mineral rights covering approximately 4,708.67 hectares in the São Gotardo and Matutina region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The technical report recommends further drilling, resource updates, metallurgical testwork, environmental impact assessment and future economic studies.

Mineral Resources are classified as Inferred. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. No Mineral Reserves have been defined, and there is no certainty that a mining operation will be realized.
