📋 Tender Overview
The Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB), a company linked to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), held the auction of mining assets this Tuesday (06/04) , the first in the mineral sector under the current administration. Competing with six other competitors, the company Gesso Integral Ltda won the agromineral deposit in Aveiro, in the state of Pará. The site contains deposits for gypsum and limestone substances.
“Safe, sustainable and inclusive mining is a fundamental activity to leverage the country towards food security and to strengthen Brazil as a global reference in the demand for strategic minerals for the energy transition. Holding the asset auction also promotes economic growth in the region, generating jobs”, says the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira.
The company that will manage the Aveiro-PA deposit will pay the Union a total of R$5 million, an amount corresponding to the Signature Bonus and Opportunity Awards, which will be paid in three stages, the first being before the signing of the Promise of Assignment of Rights Agreement, the second after the geological survey that proves the economic viability of the area and the last at the start of operations. The company's representatives also offered a percentage of 25.5% of the monthly gross revenue from minerals explored in the region, as a production bonus.
