At appears that quite a lot of prev. exploration work (including geological mapping of 450km2 at 1:25,000 scale, 90 pits, 1,760 meters of diamond drilling (37 holes) and 870m3 of trenches which collectively generated 1,256 geochemical samples) has been achieved which will help them reach their target of an initial JORC extimate in mid 2010.

The very large blue sky within Mata da Corda is due to the fact that "since this period no systematic exploration has been performed in the region as most of the initiatives were concentrated in the surrounding carbonatite pipes where phosphate is currently mined." (25/02).

Comparatively, Lucena's prev. work includes 27 holes where the depth of the mineralization varied from 15 to 94m depth with thickness in the range of 0.5 to 7.0m.

DD is obviously very favourable after which drilling and infill can begin.
