Ígnea’s CEO, Giancarlo Silva, took part in the first panel, on the challenges and opportunities of Brazil’s mining sector, with a focus on critical minerals.

According to the program, the first panel was set to discuss Brazil’s strategic role in supplying critical minerals for the energy transition, regulatory developments and investment opportunities, and public policies to foster mineral exploration and mining development. The second panel would address Brazil’s geological potential for rare earths, lithium, graphite and other strategic minerals, opportunities to develop downstream industries and value chains, and geological knowledge and technological challenges. The third would present the perspective of Australian companies: why they are investing in Brazil, the opportunities and challenges for foreign investors, and lessons learned from operating in Brazil.
