The Serrita Project comprises 11 exploration licenses totaling 19,364 Ha. located in the Borborema geological province in the western part of Pernumbuco State in NE Brazil. Troy may earn up to 75% of the project through cumulative expenditure of US$700,000 over 4 years and making total cash payments of US$70,000. The property contains two known mineralized zones consisting of narrow quartz-sulfide veins with high gold grades. Historical artisanal workings up to 80m in depth are present in the area.
