Two new deposit of Cu-bearing tourmaline have been found in Paraiba state, Brazil, not far from the original source at Mina de Batalha, close to the town of Junco de Seridò. Two new mines are: The Glorious Mine and  Mineração Batalha.
The Glorious Mine has produced a limited amount of gem-quality material with a composition that is similar to the tourmaline from Mina de Batalha.
Initial work at the second locality, known as Mineração Batalha, has not yet produced any gem-quality material, but shows potential for the future.
