The Iron Quadrangle
The Iron Quadrangle has been an area of mineral exploration dating back to the 16th century. The discovery in 1699 to 1701 of gold contaminated with iron and platinum group metals in the southeastern corner of the Iron Quadrangle gave rise to the name of the town Ouro Preto (Black Gold). The Iron Quadrangle contains world-class multimillion-ounce gold deposits such as Morro Velho, Cuiaba and Sao Bento. Jaguar holds the second-largest gold land position in the Iron Quadrangle with over 46,000 hectares.
