At Cumaru, efforts have been focused on the Cumaru granodiorite stock and its hydrothermally altered
contact zone that extends outwards into the surrounding metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The stock and surrounding rocks are part of the Archean Gradaús Greenstone Belt, which extends across the 30 kilometre length of Aura Gold’s Cumaru project. Archean greenstone terranes host about 20% of the world’s total gold along with a variety of other commodities such as nickel, copper and/or iron.
