Project Summary
These are two sets of research requirements, called South Block and North Block, with 1,000 hectares, totaling ten areas and therefore 10,000 hectares. The applications were registered with the National Mining Agency under numbers 812,869 and 812,878.
Whiteness index and volumes were estimated for two types of ore: soft kaolin (low sand content) and sandy kaolin. In the North Block, 574 million tons were estimated, with a sterile:ore ratio of 1: 1. In the South Block the total estimated resources was 218 million tons and a sterile:ore ratio of 0.9. The sum of the resources reached 792 million tons, with an average whiteness index of 80%. Considering 65% recovery, total resources equals 520 million tons.
