Piripiri-PI reserve
Iron ore
The mineral reserve
Location and status of legal proceedings
It is an iron ore reserve, near the town of Piripiri / PI (6 to 12 km).
Chilli is a city of 62,600 inhabitants (IBGE-2014 data), distant
160 km from Teresina.
The mineral reserve, mostly extend over a height of hills around
200m (top - base).
Aiming to streamline the application areas, the mining rights
were registered with the DNPM for quartz development,
however, this mineral and development object is iron ore.
