The mineral reserve

Location and status of legal proceedings

It is an iron ore reserve, near the town of Piripiri / PI (6 to 12 km).

Chilli is a city of 62,600 inhabitants (IBGE-2014 data), distant

160 km from Teresina.

The mineral reserve, mostly extend over a height of hills around

200m (top - base).

Aiming to streamline the application areas, the mining rights

were registered with the DNPM for quartz development,

however, this mineral and development object is iron ore.
