Key details
On October 22, 2026, BRAMINVEST 2026, the Brazil & Latin America Mining Investment Hub, was officially launched at the Legislative Assembly of Goiás (Alego), marking a major milestone in the region's mining sector. Recognized as the largest mining business ecosystem in Latin America, BRAMINVEST aims to connect miners with global investors to foster growth and innovation in mining. The event was organized by Expert Brasil Mining alongside the Brazilian Association of Mineral Research and Mining (ABPM) and Brasil Mineral, with support from Alego's Commission of Mines and Energy.
Wilson Borges, president of BRAMINVEST, emphasized the crucial role of the public sector, stating, "The connection between the mineral sector and the public power is fundamental because the government has a role to regulate, supervise, and create public policies." Lineu Olimpio, president of the commission, highlighted Goiás' importance in rare earth minerals and the urgent need to internationalize its mining industry.
Secretary Joel Braga Filho noted Goiás as a leader in mining investments, especially in niobium, nickel, and gold, and remarked it is the first state outside Asia to export rare earths. BRAMINVEST acts as a mediation platform designed to unlock stalled mining projects affected by financial challenges, addressing both economic viability and sustainability concerns globally.
