19 Border Towns Will Now Host Projects and Ventures in the Mining Sector After the Government Allowed Mining of Minerals Such as Gold and Iron in These Locations to Expand the Segment in Brazil

Through the publication of the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU), released on Monday, (05/02), the Government authorized mining in border areas. Thus, around 19 municipalities will be able to receive projects focused on the exploration of gold, iron, and other minerals. Moreover, the Government intends to continue advancing the sector to attract new investments for the growth of mineral exploration in Brazil throughout the year.

Mining Advances in 19 Border Municipalities After Government Allows the Exploration of Gold and Iron as a Way to Attract New Investments to the Sector

With the aim of attracting new investments for the mining segment throughout 2022, General Augusto Heleno, Minister of GSI (Institutional Security Office), authorized mining in border areas. Thus, municipalities in the states of Roraima, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná will receive ventures in the segment for the exploration of minerals such as gold and iron.

The concession was announced during the release of the latest Official Gazette of the Union, this Monday, and represents the Government’s new move for the growth of the sector in the country. In addition, Augusto Heleno is the Executive Secretary of the CDN (National Defense Council), a committee that advises President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) on defense and sovereignty issues, and has been seeking new strategies for mining in Brazil. The executive is also responsible for the approval of mineral exploration projects in the national territory, and the mining of gold and iron in border areas was an initiative envisioned by him.

The Release of Gold and Iron Exploration in Border Areas is Part of the Investment Plan for the Mineral Sector Designed by Ibram for the Coming Years

The Brazilian Institute of Mining (Ibram) had announced the next big plan for the segment and stated that investments in the mining industry in Brazil should total US$ 40.44 billion from 2022 to 2026. Thus, the search for new ventures and projects within the sector is highly necessary for this amount to be reached by the end of the proposed 5-year period by Ibram.

With that, the cities that will benefit from the advancement of mining and the exploration of gold and iron will be: Bonito, Corumbá, Miranda, and Jardim, in Mato Grosso do Sul; Aceguá, Bagé, São Gabriel, Santa Margarida do Sul, Caçapava do Sul, Vila Nova do Sul, and São Sepé, in Rio Grande do Sul; Caracaraí, in Roraima; Poconé, Araputanga, Rio Branco, Porto Esperidião, and Cáceres, in Mato Grosso; and Foz do Iguaçu and Coronel Vivida, in Paraná.

Thus, the Government intends to continue investing in mining focused on gold and iron, as the expected amount for the segment is US$ 13.6 billion for the development of new ventures and projects in the area.
