Ministers Alexandre Silveira, of Mines and Energy (MME), and Aurora Williams, of Mining of Chile, signed, this Monday (05/08), a letter of intent for the development of the mineral sector of both countries, focusing on strategic minerals for the energy transition. The act took place during the Chile-Brazil Business Forum, in which Silveira was part of the official delegation of President Lula.
“Brazil has increasingly strengthened its policy for managing our mineral resources, especially those considered strategic for the future of energy. Both countries are extremely rich in mineral resources and this letter certainly greatly leverages our common interest, which is the energy transition,” said Alexandre Silveira.
In the document, the two countries commit to discussing policies and actions in the mineral sector to promote transparency in the mineral sector between the two countries; to cooperate in the area of ??Research and Development (R&D) for innovation in the sector; and to promote the establishment of qualification and training programs for the sector's workforce.
The text also highlights the importance of both countries in encouraging the implementation of sustainable mining practices; adding policies that seek to attract foreign direct investment in the sector; facilitating the exchange of technical knowledge and technologies between the countries; and promoting the adoption of advanced technologies and digital mining practices.
