Geological Mapping of Critical Minerals in Brazil

The main objective of this TC is to advance geological knowledge of potential deposits of lithium, graphite, and rare earth elements. The TC aims to gather fundamental geological information to (i) identify new graphite mineralizations, (ii) facilitate data to create a favorability map for rare earth elements; (iii) support a layer of Brazil's lithium favorability map; and (iv) enhance governance and institutional frameworks that support geological mapping.
