[SMM Rare Earth News Flash] The Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB) recently conducted rare earth exploration potential assessments in the states of São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina, achieving notable preliminary results, with total rare earth oxide (TREO) grades exceeding 0.8% in multiple samples. Brazil currently holds the world's second-largest rare earth reserves, with major projects concentrated in the states of Minas Gerais and Goiás. Against the backdrop of surging global interest in rare earths and record-high mergers and acquisitions (such as the $2.8 billion acquisition of Serra Verde by American Rare Earths), SGB is actively expanding into new mineralization areas, with the next step being assessments of areas including Sete Barras in the state of São Paulo.
