New phosphate source in Brazil, as India looks to Morocco and Syria

摘要

Amazon Mining Holding Plc has discovered new phosphate resources adjacent to its Cerrado Verde potash project in the western part of Minas Gerais state in Brazil. The exploration company, which originally focused on developing its Cerrado Verde potash project, started exploration in the Apatita project as part of detailed surface mapping of Cerrado Verde in order to assess potential phosphate resources. A regional geological mapping and grab sampling programme has identified 30km of strike with a width between 1km and 5km of a mineralised phosphate sedimentary package.
