📋 Tender Overview
The Geological Service of Brazil (SGB), linked to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), presented this Wednesday (24/09) the final report of the Decenal Research Research Plan (Plangeo 2026-2035). Launched in 2024, the document defines the institutions priority projects for the next ten years, aimed at mapping and evaluating areas with mineral potential. The focus is on critical and strategic minerals for the energy transition, food safety, the sustainability of the mineral sector and the production of industrial minerals.
Plangeos fundamental mission is to expand knowledge about our mineral reserves, to know where they are and what they are. At a time when the world crosses energy transition and digital transformation, knowing the potential of the territory is essential for our sovereignty and international projection. We are talking about critical minerals to ensure our food safety, and strategic minerals to strengthen clean energy and enable the industry in Brazil and in the world. Brazil creates the necessary conditions to attract investments, stimulate innovation and consolidate a responsible mining, which generates concrete results for the country, said Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira.
The plan prioritizes minerals essential to the future of Brazil, such as rare lands, lithium, copper, nickel, manganese, graffiti, tin, gold, phosphate and potassium, and includes 145 areas defined from public consultation to receive investments in geological research.
Plangeo is a fundamental instrument for transforming geological knowledge into investment opportunities. By identifying strategic areas and detailing the countrys mineral potential, we guarantee predictability to investors, strengthen public policies and boost mining as a vector of economic and sustainable development, increasingly positioning ourselves as one of the worlds main players, said the National Secretary of Geology, Mining and Mineral Transformation, Ana Paula Bittencourt.
