LOCAL & YOUTH  
EMPLOYMENT 
JAGUAR NICKEL PROJECT
Centaurus’ community investment strategy 
prioritises education, skills development 
and employment pathways to support the 
establishment of a local workforce for the 
future construction of the Jaguar Project.
EMPOWER JAGUAR  
TRAINING PROGRAM  
(CAPACITA JAGUAR) 
To support local employment opportunities, 
Centaurus continued the Capacita Jaguar 
training initiative in 2025 in partnership with 
the Brazilian vocational training institution 
SENAI.
During the year:
	> 238 local residents enrolled in six vocational 
training courses
	> 124 participants successfully completed 
training and received certification
Courses included administrative assistant, 
topography, welding, industrial steel 
fixing, construction carpentry and backhoe 
operation. Participants were drawn from São 
Félix do Xingu, including the villages of Ladeira 
Vermelha and Minerasul, as well as Tucumã 
and Ourilândia do Norte.
JAGUAR PARTNERS PROGRAM 
(PARCEIROS DO JAGUAR)
Centaurus also continued to deliver the 
Jaguar Partners Program (Parceiros do 
Jaguar), which provides training and 
information sessions for local businesses 
interested in supplying goods and services to 
the Project.
The initiative aims to strengthen local supplier 
capacity and prepare companies to meet 
the requirements necessary to participate 
in the Project’s supply chain. During 2025, 
63 companies completed the training and 
received participation certificates.
Towards the end of the year, Centaurus 
delivered a workshop in Minerasul 
Village to an entirely female audience, 
including six local female business owners, 
reflecting the growing role of women in 
the region’s economic development. The 
program supports entrepreneurship, 
strengthens local businesses and promotes 
inclusive participation in future economic 
opportunities linked to the Project.
This initiative reflects Centaurus’ commitment 
to fostering gender inclusion, expanding 
opportunities for local businesses, and 
contributing to the sustainable development 
of the region.

There were no ground disturbing activities 
carried out around the JNP site during 2025. 
When ground disturbing works commence 
around the JNP site, these will be monitored 
by archaeologists so that any artifacts or 
relevant objects can be salvaged. 
JAMBREIRO IRON ORE PROJECT
Following the JIOP archaeological and natural 
heritage report and extensive fieldworks 
completed in 2023, Centaurus was not 
required to complete any additional Cultural 
Heritage Assessment works in 2024 and 2025.
