Brazil is very mineral rich

The Gorutuba project consists of 28 mining rights containing an area of 42,980 hectares in total. Geophysical interpretation of the area was developed based on data gained from airborne geophysical survey conducted by the State of Minas Gerais.

The study revealed that the geophysical characteristics of the Salobro deposit is highly correlated with seven targets within the Gorutuba project area, showing similar anomalies like Salobro.

The extent of the seven selected targets is 17 km and a drill program is scheduled to start in 2014 to confirm each deposit. Initial geochemical studies indicated other anomalies of Copper and Gold within the Gorutuba projects/targets.

I never knew the demand for Zinc was so high.

Zinc is the fourth-most widely used metal, right behind iron/steel, aluminum, and copper.

Zinc, which has unique abilities to resist corrosion and oxidation, is used for metal galvanization, the process of applying a metal coating to another metal to prevent rust and corrosion. As you can see from the following table, galvanizing metals (particularly steel) is by far the largest application of zinc.
