The project is located approximately 438km northwest of Salvador, Bahia State. Goethite-hematite rich breccias with boxwork textures after sulfides are hosted by meta-siltstones of the Mesoproterozic Caboclo Formation in the northern part of Bahia. The breccias display anomalous values for zinc and copper. The analytical results of 24 grab samples returned seven values ranging from 1010 ppm and 1775 ppm zinc. Values of up to 833 ppm copper have been obtained as well.

The high zinc content in the breccias associated with the layers of fresh pyrite strongly suggest that the breccias are the product of oxidation and weathering of zinc-rich (and possibly copper) sulfides horizons.

The prospectable trend in the southern limb of the Alegre Hill anticlinorium is at least 25 km in length. The northern flank also contains the same breccias zones and merits to be investigated in the field.
