| Deposit | DEPOSIT IS ON THE MADEIRINHA RIVER A TRIBUTARY OF THE ROOSEVELT RIVER WHERE THE MINERACAO PARANAPANEMA OF THE LA COMBE GROUP HAS STARTED TWO PLACER MINING OPERATIONS. THIS IS A NEW TIN PLACER MINING AREA LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE RONDONIA TIN DISTRICT. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS IS THAT ASSUMING THERE IS THE SAME GEOLOGICAL SETTING HERE AS IN RONDONIA THE POTE(TIAL RESOURCES OF TIN FOR THE REGION MAY BE GREATLY INCREASED. |
