The Furnas Copper-Gold Project is an iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposit located approximately 50 kilometers southeast of Vale Base Metals’ Salobo operations and about 190 kilometers northeast of the Tucumã Operation. The project covers roughly 2,400 hectares within the Carajás Mineral Province and sits less than fifteen kilometers from extensive regional infrastructure, including paved roads, an industrial-scale cement plant, a power substation, and Vale’s railroad loadout facility.
