The Serra das Éguas district is also known in the literature as the Brumado district (Cassedanne & Cassedanne, 1978). It is a large hilly area (approx. 5 x 15 km²) with several magnesite (& talc) pits around Brumado. One of the world's largest magnesite deposits is located in this district.
The Pomba pit is above the Pedra Preta open-pit mine further up the hill/mountain (Rock Currier information, based on a 1988 field trip).
