About Horizonte Minerals:
Horizonte Minerals plc is an AIM and TSX listed exploration and
development Company with a portfolio of nickel and gold projects in the
Carajas District of Brazil. The Company is focussed on creating value
by generating and rapidly advancing exploration projects in tandem with
joint ventures with major mining companies, providing mid-term cash
flow, which is then used to develop the business and pipeline projects.
Horizonte has two committed major mining partners: Teck Resources
Limited, a major strategic shareholder in the Company, and AngloGold, a
JV partner on the Falcao gold project.
Horizonte owns 100 per cent of the advanced Araguaia nickel project
located to the south of the Carajas mineral district of northern
Brazil. The project has defined a resource with size and grades
comparable to other world-class projects in northern Brazil and the
Company has completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the project
which illustrates robust economics based on low strip ratio, good
infrastructure, and large mineral resource with two viable alternatives
for processing.
Horizonte is well funded to accelerate the development of its core
project.
