Summary
The Cururupu Critical Minerals Project comprises 9,998.04 hectares located in Maranhão State, northern Brazil.
Historical geochemical and heavy mineral data identified significant anomalies in Scandium, Lanthanum, Yttrium, Zirconium, Titanium and Thorium, together with the presence of Monazite, Zircon, Rutile and Ilmenite.
Located approximately 50 km from the former Aurizona Gold Mine, the project represents an early-stage exploration opportunity for critical minerals within an under-explored region of northern Brazil.
Geological Overview
Historical geochemical anomalies within the project area identified heavy mineral assemblages containing Monazite, Zircon, Rutile and Ilmenite, minerals commonly associated with rare earth element and critical mineral systems.
Historical analytical results identified significant anomalies including Scandium (>100 ppm), Lanthanum (1,000 ppm), Yttrium (1,000 ppm), Zirconium (>1,000 ppm), Titanium (>1%) and Thorium (250 ppm).
The combination of favourable geochemistry and heavy mineral occurrences supports further exploration aimed at evaluating the project's critical minerals and rare earth element potential.
