Bahia Is The Second Largest Gold Producer In Brazil And May Receive Investments Of US$ 30 Million. New Gold Cycle Is Expected To Reach 350,000 Ounces Per Year By 2027.

Brazil is entering a new gold cycle, with at least ten new mining projects for the precious metal about to start legal production between this year and 2027. These ventures, distributed across nine states, represent a total investment of R$ 7.6 billion, mainly in Bahia. The 54% appreciation in the international gold price over the last three years has driven the emergence of these new projects in 2024. Gold exploration in Bahia promises not only to increase national production but also to strengthen the regional economy, consolidating the state as one of the main mining hubs in Brazil; currently, Bahia is the second largest gold producer in the country.

With this new gold cycle in Brazil, Bahia has become the second largest gold producer in Brazil, Jacobina is the 3rd largest producing municipality in the country and new projects are emerging in the State. One example is the new gold production area in Bahia being offered to private initiative by the Companhia Baiana de Pesquisa Mineral (CBPM) in the municipalities of Brumado and Aracatu.

On the other hand, Canadian Pan American Silver, owner of a complex of seven underground gold mines in the Bahian city of Jacobina, is investing between US$ 20 million and US$ 30 million to increase production, which was 195,000 ounces of gold in 2022. A new phase may reach 350,000 ounces per year in 2027.

According to Manoel Barretto, technical director of CBPM, in a report, the Jacobina mine has been explored since the times of the Empire, but the tradition of large mines is evolving. They increase production with new technologies. CBPM maps and conducts bids for mining areas, which yield royalties of 2% to 6%.

Bahia is the second largest gold producer in Brazil, and the rise in gold prices is related to China, which since the end of 2022 has been buying gold at an unprecedented pace to bolster its foreign reserves and have an alternative to the US dollar.

The tensions between the two countries, combined with the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, climate change, and the fear of new pandemics contribute to the increased global demand from countries, banks, and investors for the precious metal.

Gold Reaches All-Time High In 2024

In May, gold closed at a new all-time high and accumulated gains amid a rally driven by the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts on the horizon. Silver reached its highest levels since 2013 due to the metal shortage and reinforced demand in the Chinese market.

On Comex, the metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), gold deliveries in June closed up 1.34% at US$ 2,417.40 per troy ounce. Meanwhile, silver rose 4.63% to US$ 31.26 per troy ounce. During the week, gold increased by 1.79%.

The rise in gold prices signals that investors are anticipating interest rate cuts by the Fed later this year, but they may be uncertain about the prospects of curbing inflation without pushing the US economy into recession, also known as a soft landing. Some investors are buying into the hype around gold bars as prices rise, causing them to climb even higher.

Gold Reaches All-Time High In 2024

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Brazilians create cashierless mini-market in the USA, use AI to define products and prices, raise R$ 10 million, and achieve financial balance in the first month before planning nine more units in Miami by the end of 2026.

Three of the five winners of one of the UK’s most prestigious literary awards are suspected of having submitted books written by AI, as detectors cannot distinguish human from machine, and writing too well has become a reason for suspicion.

From Waste to Construction: Ground Eggshells Enter Concrete, Reduce Carbon Emissions, Save Cement, and Demonstrate Innovation in Sustainable Materials

While tons of grape pomace are discarded in Brazilian wineries, researchers are transforming grape residues into bricks and adobe that reduce waste, improve thermal insulation, and pave the way for large-scale sustainable construction.

Used jeans are shredded and transformed into insulation blankets for walls and ceilings, rescuing millions of dollars of textile waste from landfills, increasing comfort in construction, and reducing heating and cooling costs.

Houses built with earth bricks and olive residue can take up to three times longer to heat, utilize leftovers from the olive oil industry, and bring energy savings.
