Viridis Mining And Minerals

Viridis Mining and Minerals is a mining company focused on the development of rare-earth and critical-mineral projects. The company operates in the rare-earths sector, which has become strategically important for technology manufacturing, renewable energy and defence applications. Viridis is developing the Colossus rare-earths project located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, a region known for its mineral resources. The company has secured project financing support from export credit agencies including Export Development Canada and Bpifrance Assurance Export, reflecting international interest in diversifying rare-earth supply chains beyond dominant producers. Rare-earth elements are essential inputs for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and electronics, and global demand has been rising as economies transition toward lower-carbon technologies. Viridis's focus on critical minerals aligns with efforts by Western governments and companies to establish alternative sources of supply outside China, which currently dominates global rare-earth production and processing. The company is led by chief executive Rafael Moreno. Viridis represents part of a broader push to develop rare-earth capacity in jurisdictions such as Brazil, Canada, Australia and the United States.
