Your Gateway to
Brazilian
Rare Earths
We guide foreign companies through every step of entering Brazil's rare earth and critical minerals sector — from regulatory navigation to deal sourcing and rights acquisition.
A US$2.8B signal.
A closing window.
Brazil holds the world's 2nd largest rare earth reserves yet produces under 1% of global supply. With USA Rare Earth's April 2026 acquisition of Serra Verde, the race for early position has begun.
The bridge between
foreign capital and
Brazilian opportunity
Brazil's regulatory environment is complex. The opportunity is enormous. You need a partner who understands both worlds.
On-the-Ground Intelligence
We operate from Brazil with direct access to ANM data, SGB geological surveys, state-level licensing bodies, and a network of geologists, lawyers, and landowners across the most promising regions.
End-to-End Execution
From initial market assessment through research permit acquisition, environmental clearances, and deal structuring — we manage the full entry process so your team can focus on capital deployment.
Bilingual Deal Flow
Fluent in English and Portuguese, we eliminate the information asymmetry that costs foreign companies time and money. We negotiate on your behalf with Brazilian counterparts, government bodies, and landowners.
Network of Specialists
Access our curated network of mining geologists, environmental consultants, mineral rights lawyers, and geophysics firms — all vetted and ready to deploy, billed only when needed.
Geopolitical Timing
The US-China rare earth standoff has made Brazil a top-priority sourcing destination for Western companies. We track regulatory, political, and market developments in real time to keep you ahead.
Transparent Pricing
Flat retainers for ongoing advisory. Success fees tied to deal outcomes. No hidden costs. Our interests are aligned with yours — we succeed when you close.
