Elon Musk Announces A Mega Project Involving The New “Oil Of The 21st Century”: The Brazilian ‘White Gold’. With More Than 1 Million Tons In Reserves, Brazil Becomes One Of The Main Targets For Global Mining Companies.
In recent years, billionaire Elon Musk has shown great interest and investment in Brazil. In 2022, Musk visited the country to implement the Starlink internet network. Now, Musk’s focus is on Brazilian lithium, an essential and strategic resource. The Brazilian ‘white gold’, increasingly valued, is one of the main components in the production of electric vehicle batteries, and now, a mega project for the new oil of the 21st century is about to become a reality.
Brazilian Lithium Could Reach 1.2 Million Tons
Called the new oil of the 21st century, Brazilian lithium attracts the interest of global corporations, including Tesla, which Elon Musk seeks to expand through Brazilian reserves. This investment in Brazil, which holds large reserves, especially in the state of Minas Gerais, represents a significant opportunity for the mining sector, which could benefit from the growing demand for lithium and sustainable production to supply the global market.
The estimate is that Brazilian ‘white gold’ could reach 1.2 million tons, positioning itself among the largest holders of this resource. This mega project of the new oil of the 21st century represents a unique opportunity for the country to become a major global supplier, especially with the increasing need for rechargeable batteries.

The northern region of Santa Catarina could become a new hub for strategic minerals after the Geological Survey of Brazil found high concentrations of rare earths in Joinville and Garuva, with a focus on neodymium, used in magnets that drive electric motors and turbines, although mining still depends on further studies.
According to recent studies, global demand for lithium is expected to quadruple by 2035, jumping from 1 million tons in 2024 to 4 million, driven by the popularity of electric cars, whose sales increase every year.
Brazilian Lithium Attracts Billion-Dollar Mega Project
Despite major producers like Australia, Chile, and China dominating the current market, Brazil stands out for a key differential: the cleaner extraction method. Here, lithium is extracted from drilling rocks, without the use of aggressive chemicals or evaporation processes that release carbon. This makes Brazilian lithium a clean product, attracting companies like BYD and Sigma Lithium, as well as Elon Musk, who recognizes the importance of environmentally responsible methods for producing his electric vehicles.
This differential attracts the attention of global electric vehicle manufacturers, who seek not only sources of lithium but also ways to reduce environmental impact. The environmental commitment positions the country as a potential hub for sustainable innovation in Brazilian ‘white gold’, going beyond mere raw material export to establish itself as a center for battery and electric vehicle production, especially with the advancement of Bravo Motor Company, which plans to build an industrial complex in the Nova Lima region of Minas Gerais.
Companies Will Invest $5.5 Billion In Mega Project Of The New Oil Of The 21st Century
Besides being one of the largest holders of the new oil of the 21st century, Brazil has the potential to play a central role in the global economy of electric vehicles. With companies like Chinese BYD investing R$ 5.5 billion to establish a factory in Brazil, the country is already attracting industry giants.
Sigma Lithium, which holds the largest reserve of Brazilian ‘white gold’, is also in the sights of investors. Elon Musk attempted negotiations to acquire this miner, but even without immediate success, he remains interested in future opportunities.
Tesla, for example, already has an agreement with Vale for the supply of nickel, another key component for electric vehicle batteries. With these agreements and the growing interest in Brazilian lithium, there is a strong possibility that Elon Musk will move forward with plans to establish a Tesla factory in Brazil.

Naaaaaaaaaaooooo,seu **** metido!!!! Isso não é pra você e sim para o Trump, volta pra seu Habitat, deixa o Brasil em paz, vai roubar no seu país de origem África do Sul,seu kapeta!;!!🤨…
O lítio é nosso!!! Não venda nosso lítio,🙏
