Open-cast mine for feldspar, quartz, lithium and tantalum.
Concession C - 123 Formigoso, owned (in 2025) by Felmica - Minerais Industriais, SA. Concession started in 2011.
Do not confuse with the older (and geographically unrelated) concession Monte do Formigoso Mine ( https://www.mindat.org/loc-261887.html ). It's however likely these 2 concession explored the same pegmatite(s).
