The Guia documentation details how mining the manganese claims will be determined, using backhoes, rippers, draglines and other equipment. Once the first Guia is approved, Maxtech will coordinate the filing of the next Guia submissions on the remaining claims, so that the entire area in the Brasnorte Project can begin production.
