New mining opportunities in Tiros: investment of R$500 million in rare earths and titanium generates expectations of 200 new direct jobs!
A big step towards mining em Minas Gerais! A Resouro Strategic Metals, a Canadian subsidiary, announced that it will invest up to R $ million 500 in the extraction of rare Lands e titanium in Tiros, located between Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba. With this investment, the forecast is to generate up to 200 direct jobs in the region, boosting the local economy.
Start of operations scheduled for 2026
The operations of Strategic Mineral Shots are scheduled to begin in 2026. Resouro, which is headquartered in Belo Horizonte and is listed on the stock exchanges of Toronto, Australia and OTCQB our USA, specializes in the development of critical mineral resources, essential for decarbonization technologies, such as electric vehicles and wind turbines, according to the website hojeemdia.
Project Tiros: significant potential
From 2023, the company has been investing in mineral research in Tiros Project – Rare Earths and Titanium. So far, an impressive reserve of around 1 billion tons of ore, with significant contents of titanium oxide (12%) and magnetic rare earths (4000 ppm). The main elements present in this deposit include Neodymium (Nd), Praseodymium (Pr), Dysprosium (Dy) e Terbium (Tm), fundamental for several technological applications.

If you go to the city of Tiros, it is not in the triangle but in Alto Paranaíba, close to São Gotardo and Matutina. More towards the central region!!
Rio Tinto, a multinational company, is also researching titanium in the municipality of Andrelândia, MG, a city in the south of Minas Gerais, served by the two largest railways in the country, VLi and MRS (Steel Railway). The city is located between the three most important capitals in Brazil, Rio, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, served by BR 494, requiring the paving of only 35 km connecting Santana do Garambéu, thus connected to Barbacena BR 040, to São Paulo and Rezende via Andrelândia, shortening 130 km and without tolls.
