AMG Mining Will Sell About 40,000 Tons of Lithium Per Year in Minas Gerais

Mining dams, deactivated since 2018, will be transformed into new mines for the production of valuable lithium, the metal used to make the best batteries currently on the market in Minas Gerais.

AMG Mining Invests Over 650 Million

With a presence in Brazil for 73 years, AMG Mining – a subsidiary of the Dutch Advanced Metallurgical Group – is investing around R$ 650 million in the two phases of the Lithium Project at the industrial complex of the Volta Grande mine, on the border of the municipalities of Nazareno and São Tiago in Minas Gerais.

There, reserves amount to about 23 million tons of remaining pegmatite – a multi-mineral rock. Another manufacturing unit, in São João del Rei, produces tantalum and niobium oxides, special aluminum alloys, and also operates a Small Hydroelectric Plant (PCH).

With nine AMG mining operations worldwide, the entire executive board of the company visited Minas Gerais for the inauguration of the Lithium Project plant.

“Situated in the State of Minas Gerais, knowing that we are generating more direct jobs, we believe that for every direct job, we create four indirect ones in the regions of São Tiago and Nazareno,” estimates the president of AMG in Brazil.

Despite being a very rich region, it has one of the lowest Human Development Indexes (HDIs) in Minas Gerais.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

China manufactures 150 buses in just 16 working days and ships them to Argentina at prices up to 30% lower than those produced locally, putting body manufacturers in the neighboring country on high alert due to the speed and cost of Asian production.

Brazil accelerates the production of electric buses and could end 2026 as the leader in Latin America in a race that promises to transform public transportation in large cities.

An 11-year-old boy from Texas was just hoping to be officially adopted, but he got the most exciting surprise of his life when 45 classmates showed up unexpectedly at the courthouse to celebrate with him.

Two cyclones are surrounding Brazil at the same time this week: one brings heavy rain to the South while the other pushes cold air that drops temperatures by up to 6 degrees in mountainous areas of the Southeast.

A 20-year-old young man became paralyzed from the waist down after an accident and received treatment with polylaminin in Santa Catarina, and he is already able to move his feet days later.

Thicker walls become a thermal solution in Brazil by reducing internal heat by up to 30% without air conditioning, using thermal inertia, double walls with air, adobe, and roofs that can cut heating by up to 10°C.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

Venice is at real risk of disappearing under the sea by 2300, and scientists reveal 4 radical solutions ranging from billion-euro projects of up to €100 billion to the extreme decision to abandon the historic city forever.

Shotcrete replaces manual plastering, can double or even triple productivity on site, and delivers more uniform walls; this industrialized technique has been gaining ground precisely where there is a lack of skilled labor.

Common tiles may be on borrowed time because a new European technology transforms the roof itself into a solar power plant without the need for traditional panels that sit on top and spoil the house’s appearance.
