Updated Jul 30, 2026
- Altamira holds 4 projects covering ~90,000 hectares in Alta Floresta Belt, an emerging porphyry district in northern Mato Grosso State, Brazil.
- Area is a prolific alluvial gold district with 25 years of historic production.
- Properties are centred on the main alluvial gold source areas.
- Porphyry mineralization first identified by Anglo American (copper at Jaca in2018) and Altamira (gold at Maria Bonita in 2022).
- Alta Floresta is a fast-growing industrial and agricultural region with excellent infrastructure including power, road and air access as well as water.
- The Flagship Cajueiro licenses have two independently estimated mineral resources, 4 partially drilled targets and 5 untested drill targets along 14kilometres of the Teles Pires river where every tributary has been worked for alluvial gold.

Actual holdings will vary for each client or fund and there is no guarantee that a particular account will hold any or all of the securities discussed. All investing involves risk including risk of loss. Crescat target resource estimates (TSE) are based on internal modeling and geologic estimates, and include various assumptions based on analysis of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, historic drill assays, and metallurgical recovery data received to date. TSE are discounted based on drilling progress to date, an assessment of the management and technical team's strengths and weaknesses affecting their ability to advance the project, and environmental, local community, and government permitting risk factors. Estimates are displayed on a gold equivalent basis based on current price-to-gold ratios for silver, copper, and other metals if the primary metal is other than gold. Further drilling, assaying, resource modeling, and engineering studies will be required to determine whether Crescat's TSE can be reasonably expected to be achieved. Crescat's target resource estimates are updated monthly across the entire portfolio. Sources: Crescat Capital LLC, Bloomberg, Issuer. Expected profitability percentile is based on Crescat's geologic estimates of projected grades, recoveries, capex, and operational costs on the primary project compared to the universe of operating mines. This value does not project overall anticipated company profitability.
