Igarape Bahia (excluding the Alemao Project) (Closed) gold mine

The mine is situated relatively close to CVRD's Carajas iron ore operations, which reduces infrastructure requirements. CVRD intends to develop a mine to exploit the primary copper-gold sulphide mineralisation that underlies the Igarape Bahia gold mineralisation. This project is analysed separately in this volume as the Alemão Project. Wood Mackenzie’s asset reports are built from the bottom up, incorporating a number of granular data metrics to ultimately produce our industry standard cash operating costs. This report contains a detailed asset note giving you a holistic view of the asset, including an operational overview through to a timeline of events from inception to now. This qualitative analysis is supplemented by the associated Excel download which enables interrogation of a whole series of cost and production metrics over the life of the asset.
