The mining sector has historically played an important role in Brazil\u2019s development and continues to hold significant relevance in both the Brazilian and global economies: mining contributes approximately 4% to Brazil\u2019s GDP, and the country is a major exporter of iron, manganese, tantalum, niobium, and bauxite.<\/span><\/p>

More recently, efforts toward the decarbonization of the global economy, which is an essential feature of the current global energy transition, have led to greater reliance on energy technologies that are more mineral-intensive in their production, such as solar and wind power, as well as batteries, among others. In this context, anticipating future demand for these minerals to support this process indicates investment opportunities being promoted by various countries to ensure that the future supply of such minerals does not become a bottleneck for the energy transition.<\/span><\/p>

Across different jurisdictions, there is considerable overlap in the classification of minerals deemed critical or strategic for the energy transition. As outlined in the National Mining Plan 2030, Brazil uses the term \u201cstrategic minerals\u201d to identify the set of minerals defined under the Strategic Minerals Policy by Resolution MME No. 2, dated July 18, 2021. This set is segmented, in a non-exhaustive manner, into: mineral goods for which the country depends heavily on imports to supply vital sectors of the economy; minerals that are important for their application in high-technology products and processes (including minerals critical to the energy transition); and mineral goods that hold comparative advantages and are essential to the economy due to their contribution to generating trade surpluses. The United States and the European Union have similar classifications, which are periodically updated.<\/span><\/p>

Regardless of the classification adopted, there is no doubt that demand for a set of minerals is expected to increase substantially, potentially more than tripling by 2050. In this scenario, Brazil\u2019s vast territory and geological diversity offer an enormous potential for new mineral discoveries. According to the International Energy Agency, Latin America stands out as the region with the greatest potential to attract foreign investment and expand production, both due to the volume of existing reserves and the potential for new discoveries, and within the region, Brazil has the strongest investment outlook, positioning itself as a global hotspot for all stakeholders in the mining sector. <\/span>hot spot<\/span><\/i> global para todos os agentes do setor de minera\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
