São Paulo – The Brazilian government is planning to auction five tracts of land for mining from December 13 to 17, Brazil’s Geology Service (CPRM) said. The organization, an arm of the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy, issued a public consultation notice, the minutes of the request for proposals and of the mining right transfer contracts.
Bidding investors will be offered mineral rights for charcoal in four plots in Candiota, Rio Grande do Sul, and mineral rights for metals including copper, lead and zinc in Palmeirópolis, Tocantins.
Eligible bidders include companies or consortia of mining or mineral research companies, Brazilian or otherwise. For the areas in Candiota, near the Uruguayan border, the winning consortia or companies are required to have at least 51% Brazilian capital.
