Viridis Mining & Minerals

Viridis Mining & Minerals is a mining and exploration company focused on the development of rare earths and critical minerals projects in Brazil. The company's flagship asset is the Colossus project, which targets ionic clay-hosted rare earth deposits. Viridis operates within the broader push by companies outside China to establish alternative supply chains for rare earths, which are essential to magnets, electric vehicles, renewable energy and defence technologies. Brazil holds some of the world's largest rare earth resources and has attracted growing investor interest as governments seek to diversify critical minerals supply away from China, which dominates global processing and refining. Viridis is listed and reports periodically on exploration results, resource estimates and progress toward development decisions at its projects. The company works with technical personnel and executives, including figures such as Rafael Moreno, in advancing its exploration and development programmes. Its activities include drilling, metallurgical testwork and infrastructure planning, such as the use of dewater filter press technology in processing test work. Viridis is a relatively young company in the critical minerals space, and its prospects are tied closely to the pace of rare earths demand growth and Brazil's positioning as an emerging supply source.
