The advance distribution of mining royalties has been an important vector for aligning national policies and multilateral initiatives in the field of strategic minerals, according to a report published.

Today (11/14), the National Mining Agency (ANM) allocated R$ 45,026,393.80 to municipalities impacted by railways, ports, and pipelines, in a move that reinforces discussions led by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) on cooperation with Global South countries.

This amount corresponds to part of the 15% collected in October 2025 by the Financial Compensation for Mineral Exploration (CFEM).

International Energy Cooperation in the Mineral Agenda

The debate on international energy cooperation gains strength as strategic mineral policies connect to expanded logistical chains.

Among the benefiting municipalities, São Luís (MA) stands out as the largest recipient, with R$ 2.73 million.

Following are Açailândia (MA), with R$ 2.4 million, and Marabá (PA), with just over R$ 2.08 million.

These allocations reflect technical evaluations completed after the publication of the list from the 2025/2026 cycle of ports, railways, and mineral pipelines.

The advance payment process only occurred after the approval of the Board of Directors of the ANM, a step that also reinforces the quest for transparent governance, a priority discussed in agendas among Global South countries.

Strategic Minerals Policies and Mining Royalties

The strategic minerals policies include specific analyses before the final distribution of CFEM is concluded.

The announced advance refers exclusively to non-producing municipalities and may be supplemented after simulating amounts allocated to producing locations that qualify as affected.

This second stage involves recalculating the indices provided in Annex I of ANM Resolution No. 143/2023.

Only after this process will it be possible to proceed to the definition of the amounts directed to municipalities bordering mineral producers, reinforcing how mining royalties shape institutional decisions.

Sustainable Governance in the Global South and Mining Logistical Chains

The discussion on sustainable governance in the Global South is also linked to the logistical chains receiving resources from CFEM.

The ANM emphasized that the total distribution will only occur after the judgment of second-instance appeals, ensuring technical compliance before full release.

To enhance transparency, the list of amounts received by municipalities is available, a tool that facilitates public monitoring and aligns with initiatives from partner countries interested in advanced models of administration of mineral resources.

From an economic perspective, the relationship between international chains and mining royalties becomes a central element in multilateral negotiations.

By reinforcing the debate on multilateral economic integration, the MME also highlights how mining royalties remain essential for guiding public policies and strengthening cooperation among Global South nations.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.
