Cabaçal

Cabaçal is a gold-copper deposit located in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, forming the core project of Meridian Mining. The deposit is being advanced through exploration and pre-development studies toward a mining decision. It hosts gold and copper mineralisation associated with a volcanogenic massive sulphide-style orebody, a geological setting known for polymetallic deposits. Meridian Mining holds the operating interest and has conducted extensive drilling to define and expand the resource base. The project's strategic significance lies in its potential to become a producing mine supplying gold and copper to regional and international markets. Studies at Cabaçal have focused on establishing processing routes, infrastructure requirements and project economics to support development financing. Its location in Mato Grosso places it within an established Brazilian mining jurisdiction with existing infrastructure and regulatory frameworks. The project has attracted investor attention as a potential near-term addition to Brazil's gold and copper output. Cabaçal remains at the development stage, with commissioning contingent on further studies, permitting and funding decisions.
