Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources, in the wake of the high-profile appointment of Elton L.S. Pereira, M.Sc., as Senior Geological Consultant, Brazil. They also discuss the value in the company’s burgeoning portfolio as gold approaches $5,000 an ounce.

Ajax Resources PLC has appointed Elton L.S. Pereira as Senior Geological Consultant for Brazil, with the appointment set to take effect on completion of the acquisition of the Pereira Velho Gold Project, expected around 30 January 2026.

Pereira, who led the original discovery of the project, brings more than 30 years of international exploration experience. He played a key role in defining an initial internal resource estimate of approximately 110,000 ounces of gold, based on drilling across just one-fifth of the project area.

Following completion of the acquisition, Ajax plans to launch a new drilling programme of around 3,000 metres, targeting an initial resource of 350,000 ounces of gold. Management believes the project offers significant upside, with broader exploration potential of up to one million ounces as work progresses.
