📋 Tender Overview
President Lula sanctioned, last (31/05), the law that, among other measures, changes the remuneration of careers and the Special Position Plan of the National Mining Agency (ANM), equating the salary of civil servants with the other regulatory agencies in the country.
ANM, linked to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), is responsible for mineral licensing and inspection in the country. The Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, celebrated the publication of the law, which was a long-standing demand from civil servants and which will help strengthen the body and, consequently, the activity and the sector.
“Since the beginning of our work, we have been able to advance what ANM has deservedly fought for since its creation in 2017. This salary equality, legitimized by President Lula, recognizes the importance of a strong agency for it to exercise its supervisory role . Only in this way will we guarantee safer and more sustainable mining that effectively brings social returns to the population”, stated Silveira.
With the publication of Law No. 14,875 , which appears in the extra edition of the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU), the careers of Specialist in Mineral Resources, Technician in Mining Activities, Analyst and Administrative Technician at the agency will have, from 2026, salaries equivalent to peers working at the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) and the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).
The salary restructuring for ANM will be carried out in three stages. The first part of the increase (40%) has been in effect since January of this year, with the publication of Provisional Measure No. 1,203, of December 29, 2023 . With the presidential sanction published last week, increases are guaranteed gradually, with the next installment of the adjustment in January 2025 (30%) and the last for January 2026 (30%).
Before the measure, salaries at ANM were between 40 and 60% lower than those at other agencies. At the end of the entire restructuring process, salaries will be as follows: Specialists in Mineral Resources will receive: R$16,413.35; Technician in Mining Activities: R$8,053.32; Administrative Analyst: R$15,050.25; and Administrative Technician: R$7,648.17.
The text also establishes the creation of the careers of Specialist in Indigenism, of Technician in Indigenism at the National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples (Funai), and establishes the Federal Penal Police (and the career of the Federal Penal Police Officer). In addition, it also restructures the remuneration for the careers of Federal Police Officer and Federal Highway Police Officer, Federal Specialist in Criminal Execution Assistance and Federal Criminal Execution Support Technician.
