| History of the Jacobina Project |
|
The Serra do Jacobina mountains have been mined for gold since the late 17th century. Numerous
old workings from artisanal miners can be seen along the ridges of the mountain chain and garimpeiro
activity, on a small scale, has taken place sporadically up to present day. Yamana acquired Jacobina
when it completed the acquisition of Desert Sun Mining in April 2006.
