Gold at scale, from the field to the refinery.

AvixZ Gold is the group's gold project in Itaituba, Pará, on 84,000 hectares of its own land. The areas were acquired between 1994 and 1998 with the group's own resources and have been surveyed ever since by geological and geophysical campaigns run by the group's own team — three decades of continuous investment before any outside funding.

The operation follows the model the group applies on every front: development in phases, each completed before the next begins; an in-house processing plant, which treats the ore on site and keeps production under the group's control; and compliance from the field onward, with traceability of the gold produced.

The gold goes to the group's refinery in Santarém and from there is exported directly to world markets — the field-to-refinery integration that sets AvixZ apart. The group keeps investing in expansion and in new projects in the region.

The greater part of the 84,000 ha is set aside for conservation: a perpetual reserve forms the protective belt, a second area stays dormant over the long term, and mining is concentrated in an active core.

Progressive rehabilitation of mined areas, environmental controls, and priority for local labour and suppliers.

Output directed to the group's refinery in Santarém, for direct export. Under study: an industrial jewellery hub in Pará, exporting finished pieces instead of raw metal and strengthening the regional economy.
