Orex Mineracao Ltda

Orex Mineração Limitada (OREX) was founded in February 1989, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the objective to produce and commercialize market known natural stones such as quartzites, sandstones and slates from Minas Gerais and Bahia, Brazil. Years later, the principal of OREX, Dr. Werner Fleckenstein, decided to use his strong technical background and his knowledge of Brazilian geology and business conditions to identify and develop new natural stone occurrences. In 1995, Dr. Werner Fleckenstein transferred OREX to Salvador, the state capital of Bahia, Brazil, and commenced investigating the details of several selected new properties. Since then, numerous natural stone occurrences have been evaluated, tested and claimed. Today, OREX controls the mineral rights for several natural stone occurrences in the northeast of Brazil. It is our goal to develop these properties in the coming years and market a wide variety of products to best serve our customers. The best known and most explored property is the Santa Cruz Quartzite project in the state of Pernambuco. The mineral claim of this property covers a large area of 1980 hectares. Other, also most interesting properties are located in the state of Bahia.
