The submission period for the Annual Mining Report (RAL) regarding the base year 2025 is now open, a regulatory obligation for all mining rights holders and leaseholders in Brazil. According to the Mining Code and Ordinance DNPM No. 155/2016, this document is the primary instrument for sector agents to report performance to the regulatory agency, including production volumes, marketing, mining methods, reserves, and economic data. Submission must be done exclusively through the RALWeb system, requiring authentication via the Federal Government’s Single Login.
The delivery schedule for 2026 follows a division based on the title typology
- The deadline of March 15, 2026, applies to most regimes, including mine manifests, decrees and mining ordinances, Mining Groupings, consortiums, Small-Scale Mining Permits, Mineral Extraction Registries, areas with an Experimental mining license, and license registrations with an approved Economic Utilization Plan.
- The deadline of March 31, 2026, is specific to license registration holders who do not yet have the aforementioned approved plan.
Technical aspects of the RALWeb system have undergone updates aimed at reducing inconsistencies in declarations.
- One change is the automatic and immutable filling of the initial stock for the base year 2025, which will replicate the final balance declared in 2024.
- The system has also increased rigor in sales declarations, requiring the identification of buyers for at least 99% of the traded volume.
- Furthermore, processes prior to July 2008 will require mandatory validation of the area polygon coordinates.
Correct submission of the RAL is essential for calculating the Financial Compensation for Mineral Exploration (CFEM). Omission in delivery or the insertion of false data constitutes infractions subject to administrative sanctions and fines, as stipulated in current regulations, including ANM Resolution No. 223/2025.
