In the Gralheira structure - a shear zone with several veins, running in a WSW-ENE direction, embedded exclusively within metasedimentary Silurian rocks and located NE of the Campo and Desvio lodes - the existence of a mineralised zone that extends for at least 1850 metres and is roughly 15 metres thick was determined. Recently, measured and indicated resources of tones, with a grade of 6,47 g/t of gold (2346,7 kg) and 27,12 g/t of silver (9482 kg), with a cut off of 4 g/t, were defined for this area.

NEVES CORVO: A WORLD CLASS DEPOSIT
To date, copper proven and probable mineral reserves at Neves-Corvo, are approximately 75,000 tonnes of contained copper. Copper measured and indicated mineral resources are now 41 million tonnes at 3.3%Cu.
Zinc proven and probable mineral reserves at Neves-Corvo are 42.6 million tonnes.
Neves-Corvo has economic evaluation extending to 2030 i.e. currently a 20 year horizon.

Only the Panasqueira mine remains in operation. Here, in the beginning of 2009 a total of tones of reserves, with MTU WO3 and a cut off of 14 kg/m2 were defined.
The mineralised zone consists of series of sub-horizontal quartz veins, which overlap and fill the joints of fractures occurring in schist rock. These veins vary in thickness from 1 to 150 centimetres, the average thickness of the veins currently being mined around the cm mark.

Today no mines are working, but recently several international companies showed interest in the Portuguese potential, specially in the Nisa deposit, where 2.5Mt with 0.11% U3O8 (cut off of 0.05%) of geological resources are estimated.

The Moncorvo deposit, composed of 5 ore bodies, is the most important iron deposit. Laboratorial tests showed that it’s possible to obtain concentrates with grades between 64% and 68% in Fe and 0,15% and 0,25% of P. Through metallurgical methods we can reach to iron concentrates with less of 0,10 % P. The proven and probable reserves of the Moncorvo deposit, with a total of 550 Mt of ore, are enough for produce 250 Mt of fine sinterized agglomerates with 60% to 65% Fe.
