private Brazilian company that has a purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the 172-hectare freehold Lima property for a purchase price of C$500,000, as well as initial exploration work in

highly-prospective gold property at exceptionally attractive terms which has the potential to be fast-tracked to production,\u201d the release reads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the Canadian miner, Lima is a laterite-type gold project with easy logistics in the Pocon\u00e9 district of the western Mato Grosso state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project comes with a proven operational team in a mature mining district with very attractive economics,\u201d the brief states. \u201cExisting mines in the district require no blasting as a result of deep weathering and consist of free-digging open-pit operations, typically to a depth of up to 80 metres.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lima is immediately adjacent to the currently producing Edmur gold mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
