Mineração Serra Verde Rare Earth Project

The project, which occupies an area of 70,363 hectares, is anticipated to have the capacity to produce 7,000 tonnes of rare earth concentrates per year, equivalent to around 5% of world demand, with an estimated useful life of 24 years.

The Pela Ema deposit in Minaçu is a saprolite “ion adsorption-type” rare earth element mineralization, which often contains a high proportion of heavy rare earth elements (HREE) and with a relatively easy, low-cost extraction process.
