Graphite in Brazil

Brazil holds significant
potential for natural graphite production, boasting the second-largest reserves of this critical mineral globally, estimated at approximately
74 million metric tons as of 2024. This positions Brazil as a key player in the graphite market, particularly as demand for natural graphite
is projected to grow rapidly due to its essential role in various applications, including batteries for EVs, lubricants, and steel production.
The Brazilian graphite market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 6.1% from 2025 to 2030,
with natural graphite being the fastest-growing segment within the industry.

The country is also strategically
positioned to capitalize on the Increasing global demand for graphite, driven by the transition to renewable energy and the electrification
of transportation. Brazil’s government is actively promoting the development of its mineral resources, including graphite, to enhance
its industrial capabilities and reduce reliance on imports. However, challenges remain, such as the need for improved infrastructure
and investment in mining technologies to fully exploit its graphite reserves. With the right policies and investments, Brazil could emerge
as a leading supplier of natural graphite in the coming years.

Our Graphite Efforts

Our Malacacheta Project is strategically positioned to target critical minerals, specifically graphite. While in the early stages of exploration, this project offers significant long-term growth potential.

Our Arcos Project is a graphite project located near Nacional de Grafite, a leading graphite producer with over eight decades of experience in the Brazilian market. The Arcos Project requires further geological exploration but complements our overall portfolio and presents additional opportunities.

The studied area is located within the Araçuaí
Orogen, situated in the central-eastern portion of Brazil, encompassing parts of the states of Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Espírito
Santo. This orogen represents a Neoproterozoic belt that developed along the southern margin of the São Francisco Craton, as part
of the Brasiliano/Pan-African system associated with the amalgamation of the Gondwana supercontinent (Almeida et al., 1973).

The evolution of the Araçuaí Orogen began around 880 Ma,
