At the Sossego Project, Carajas District, Brazil, the group was treated to an excellent, and superbly presented office briefing by José Fanton of Mineração Serra do Sossego. Left: The group ascended Sossego Hill and studied the exposed, mineralised, breccia pipes before inspecting exposure and trenches at the neighbouring, related, larger Sequeirinho deposit. Right: José Fanton explains more details of the deposit over plans and sections in the core shed as an introduction to the representative well thought out core display.
