GoldMining Taps Industry Veteran to Accelerate Brazil Gold Project
GoldMining Inc. has appointed Alexandre Soares Pimenta as Project Director for its São Jorge Gold Project in Pará State, Brazil. Pimenta, an engineer with over 25 years of experience in industrial development, will spearhead the transition into pre-feasibility studies and oversee an upcoming infill diamond drilling program.
Pimenta joins the company following leadership roles at Ativa Mineração and ORE Investments. His appointment signals a shift in strategy for the site, moving beyond the preliminary economic assessment announced in June 2026. The company intends to refine the deposit's definition through multi-rig drilling, aiming to provide the technical data required for a potential future development decision.
The São Jorge site is situated in the Tapajós gold district, a region known for its granite-hosted mineral systems. GoldMining’s recent economic assessment for the project modeled a 10.6-year mine life with an annual production of 51,250 ounces of gold. By bringing in Pimenta, who previously managed large-scale capital projects for firms including Alcoa World Alumina and Samarco Mineração, GoldMining seeks to stabilize its technical execution as it evaluates the asset's long-term viability.
