Brazilian miner Serra Verde Group is boosting production of rare earth metals at a time of growing trade friction between the US and China, the world’s dominant supplier of minerals critical to technology.
The company, which started commercially producing concentrate in Brazil’s Goias state about a year ago, plans to deliver 5,000 tons of rare earth oxide annually in 2026, Chief Operating Officer Ricardo Grossi said in an interview. The higher output will come alongside increased capacity, he said Monday, without disclosing numbers.
