Regional Gold Potential

Alvalade is located in Portugal, Europe. The surrounding region has historically demonstrated a moderate potential for gold endowment and is somewhat distal to other gold properties. Physical setting (low elevation, moderate relief, temperate climate) shapes access, seasonality, and operating costs. Geologically, the area is dominated by Unconsolidated sediments, under very thin lithosphere with moderately thick sedimentary cover in a Meso- and Cenozoic Orogen tectonic province—factors that inform both deposit style and development complexity.
