North Star Industrial Unit Will Have Initial Capacity of 24 Tons Per Year and Will Adopt International Standards of Safety and Compliance to Ensure Gold Refining in Brazil.
North Star, a company specialized in precious metals refining, invested R$ 50 million in the first gold refinery in the State of Pará, which will start operations in December. The industrial unit will have an initial capacity of 24 tons per year, equivalent to 25% of national gold production. The goal is to gradually increase its market share in refining to reach the processing of 48 tons of the metal per year, about 50% of the country’s gold production.
Maurício Gaioti, CEO of North Star, highlights that the company intends to lead the verticalization of gold production in the country, adding value to national production, committed to good ESG practices in the production, refining, and commercialization of gold produced in Brazil.
The North Star refining unit was strategically built in Belém to facilitate logistics and offer competitive costs to serve small, medium, and large mining companies operating in the Northern region.
“The challenge to turn our project into reality was to unite miners, government, and industry to create a favorable environment for value addition to gold production in Brazil, which today suffers from illicit practices,” says Gaioti.
