Brazilian Rare Earths Discovers 9km Rare Earth Corridor at Monte Alto Project
Key Facts
In a move that strengthens Brazil's mining sector potential, Brazilian Rare Earths announced the discovery of a new rare earth exploration corridor exceeding 9 km at the Velhinhas project within the Monte Alto district. These findings, part of the company’s report for the quarter ended June 2026, align with district-scale exploration efforts aimed at expanding the mineral resource base, specifically targeting high-value rare earth elements, niobium, and scandium.
Diamond drilling results revealed exceptional Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) grades reaching up to 19.6%, highlighting the high-grade nature of the new discoveries. According to airborne geophysical surveys, the company confirmed the presence of four large-scale parallel mineralized corridors in the Monte Alto district, suggesting significant growth potential for the company's mineral assets in Brazil.
Looking ahead, the focus remains on developing the Monte Alto project and expanding the newly identified mineralized corridors to enhance long-term asset value.
