Why Brazil?

   

PROVEN RESERVES
  • Top-three REE reserves (~21 Mt REO); 2024 mine output just 20 t
  • Critical-minerals pedigree: ~92% of global niobium production1

UNIQUE GEOLOGY
  • Ionic-clay production launched (Serra Verde, 2024); more projects advancing (Caldeira)2
  • Low-carbon grid: ~88% renewable electricity in 20243

MINING FRIENDLY
  • Predictable permitting: three-stage LP/LI/LO licensing; experienced agencies (ANM/IBAMA)4,5
  • Royalty clarity: CFEM 2% for REEs, assessed on gross revenue6,7

Ionic REE Clay Mineralization

  • Lower Geological Risk: Flat-lying, laterally continuous clay blankets vs. structurally controlled veins.
  • Shallow “Accumulation Zone”: Short, low-cost, low-risk drill holes; rapid delineation.
  • Simplified Flowsheet: Free digging with no crushing/milling; ion-exchange leach to desorb REE ions at near-ambient conditions.

OWNERSHIP: 100%

SIZE: 7,966 hectares

LOCATION: Rio Grande do Sul Province, Brazil

Project Overview

Rio Grande do Sul province accounts for 80% of Brazil’s coal production plus gems and titanium with numerous active mines within the area

  • Comprised of 7,966 hectares of mineral concessions located within the Rio Grande do Sul province of Brazil
  • Year-round road access with excellent local infrastructure and supportive local communities

Geology & Exploration

  • Local geology largely comprised of Rapakivi granite measuring 11 km in diameter with the majority of the property hosting advanced weathered granitoid rocks
  • Project is undrilled with limited soil sampling demonstrating encouraging potential for testing the REE enrichment zone (ionic clay model)
  • Three initial targets (Erica, Sara, and Maya) defined with future work to include property-wide soil sampling and drilling over defined targets
  • Claims cover a significant uranium-potassium-thorium anomaly which is prospective for REE’s
