As global interest in rare earth surges, Brazil is seeking new areas that could increase its rare earth reserves. The Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB) recently promoted the evaluation of new mineralization zones with rare earth potential in the country. The SGB, under Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy, studied the rare earth exploration potential in the states of São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. Fieldwork was conducted in the following locations: Itupeva, Alumínio, Morungaba, Capão Bonito, Juquiá, Jacupiranga, Cajati, Itapirapuã Paulista, and Cananéia in the state of São Paulo; Cerro Azul, Castro, Carambeí, and Tijucas do Sul in the state of Paraná; and Joinville and Garuva in the state of Santa Catarina.
