Colossus is an emerging mineral exploration and development company focused on Brazilian gold.

A major mining country, Brazil has a number of world class deposits of gold, iron ore, copper, nickel, manganese and bauxite spread through its vast and varied geological terranes. From the beginning of the 18th century, during Portuguese Colonial times into the 19th century, Brazil was the World’s leading gold producer. A second major gold rush occurred in the 1970s and 1980s when new hard rock mines were established and garimpero (informal miners) production from alluvial and regolithic sources was widespread in Brazil. A legacy of this Colonial and garimpero activity has been the location of numerous auriferous systems, many of which remain untested for their potential for hard rock gold resources.

Given the country’s mining culture, its international standard and transparently implemented mining code, stable political and fiscal situation, Brazil is a first rate candidate for investment in mineral exploration to realise its evident potential. Although most of the major multinational mineral companies are operating in Brazil, there are comparatively few junior companies involved in Brazilian exploration.

From the Brazilian and international experience of its principals, Colossus has developed useful geological models for gold and other mineralisation in the Brazilian Shield. These models are being utilised in area and project selection. The Company’s networking with garimpero groups, local technical people and companies is contributing a wealth of exploration opportunities.

With a winning team and good connections to financial markets, Colossus will become a leader in the Brazilian and broader exploration scenes.
