Campos Verdes
The 26,000 hectare Campos Verdes Project, located in Goiás State, Brazil, was acquired by Lara in 2005 because of the historical artisanal surface gold workings at João Neves. During 2006, Lara completed reconnaissance exploration along the 10 kilometer structural trend that is host to the João Neves mineralization. Soil and stream sediment sampling outline anomalism for some 6 kilometers of this trend and bonanza gold grades such as 2 meters at 133.6 grams per tonne ("g/t") and 2 metres at 44.4 g/t gold were found in channel samples in the abandoned workings.
