Lavra Velha is an exploration gold project in Bahia, Brazil, approximately 360 km by road southwest of Jacobina whose mineralization is mainly associated with a breccia hosted in a sericite alteration zone.
Since 2013, several conceptual studies have been completed to define the best alternatives to mine and processing gold, including an open pit heap leach operation.
SRK has completed the peer review of the last conceptual study to identify gaps in information on mineral resources estimate, mineral reserves estimate, metallurgy, and geotechnical issues.
The peer review results include recommendations to improve the knowledge of mineral resources, the metallurgy parameters, and geotechnical investigation.
