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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

More than 232 Brazilian companies have already moved to Paraguay, as taxes stifle the national industry and the “Custo Brasil” transforms the neighboring country into a refuge for those who can no longer bear the high costs of producing in Brazil.

Pope Leo 14 shakes up the artificial intelligence board by advocating for public governance, independent auditing, protected data, and human responsibility in machine decisions.

While common buildings in São Paulo or Berlin occupy the ground for years, in China a horizontal skyscraper the size of the Empire State Building was erected in record time, transforming the city and inspiring new urban solutions.

One of the most challenging bridges in the world is assembled in Malaysia with helicopters, prefabricated parts, and a single pillar to support the curved deck over the mountain.

While conventional religious buildings prioritize height and ornaments, a mosque in Istanbul occupies 1,300 square meters of land but remains almost invisible, gaining international recognition for its innovative design.
