About us

Local knowledge +
Geological expertise

Neolit Strategic Minerals started in 2020 in Brazil. We aim at exploring the country’s potential for providing the mineral raw materials needed for the energy and technological transitions required to address climate change. Our focus is on geological exploration and the development of new mining projects targeted at strategic minerals.

We are Brazilian, born and raised, and as such, we know the realities on the ground and are prepared to deal with local challenges. We are fully committed not only to our partners and investors, but also to the local communities that may benefit from or be impacted by our projects, making sure we always operate within the highest ESG standards. 

Brazil comprises a vast and varied landmass with enormous geological potential. Knowledge of the country’s geology, as well as its social, economic and business environments is essential to the development of Brazil’s still incipient exploration of strategic minerals. With our local knowledge and geological expertise, we are placed in a privileged position to pursue this growing trend in one of the world’s largest economies.
