Anglo American Plc’s chief executive officer was being a little cryptic with investors on Thursday, but the message was clear: the company might have found an exciting copper deposit in Brazil.

CEO Mark Cutifani briefly flagged a 19,000-square kilometer piece of land (an area about the size of Israel) that the miner has pegged in Brazil, where it’s looking for copper. When pushed by a Morgan Stanley analyst for more details, he hinted that there was something interesting to be found.
