tion and start placing geologists in the field . Hence the timeline to discovery may well improve on the back of a more agile ANM .
All of which leaves Hill positive about the sector ’ s future in Brazil . “ I believe momentum is increasing in exploration on the back of a new government voted in for change and the rising gold price . The industry has had many false starts but is now better positioned , so if the National Mining Agency can demonstrate it is serious about attracting investment , as seen at the last edition of PDAC , then I am quietly confident . The sector needs to be balanced – more junior ´ s and mid-tiers are required to actively funnel sustainable quality projects through the value chain . If the increasing quantity of expressions of interest in exploration and mining in Brazil being received at my company Exploration Outcomes are any indication of where the sector is heading in 2019 , then I am very optimistic looking forward .”
