Mina Mara Rosa; Mara Rosa project; Posse gold project; Posse deposit


The Mara Rosa Project is a gold mine.
The Project includes 60,000ha of exploration permits and 2,600ha of mining permits.

The Posse deposit was discovered in 1982 by BHP Billiton which operated the deposit from 1982 to 1987. BHP developed a small open pit mine operation with the two pits, Posse South and Posse North.

Western Mining Corporation (WMC) operated the mine from 1988 to 1995.
In 2002, Metallica Brasil became the new owner and then was acquired by Amarillo Gold Corpoation.

In 2022 Hochschild Mining acquired the Mara Rosa Gold Project.
