Mission & Goals
Viridis Mining is a Mining company focused primarily on its Colossus Rare Earth Project in Brazil. Our main goal is to get our industry leading Colossus Project into production in 2028. Since acquiring 100% of the Colossus Ionic Adsorption Clay (IAC) Rare Earth Project in 2023, Viridis has advanced the project significantly and delivered a global Resource of 493 Million tonnes @ 2,508ppm Total Rare Earth Oxide ('TREO'), which is the highest grade IAC deposit outside China. We have delineated the largest IAC Reserve outside China with 201 Million tonnes, ensuring a multi-generational asset. Globally, there are 17 rare earth elements, but only four are critical for high-performance magnets used in EVs, wind turbines, defence, MRI machines, and electronics: neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. These four account for 93% of the value in our product. We possess the highest-grade magnetic rare earth oxides (MREO) of any project globally.
EU Legislative Interests
Meeting with members of the European Commission, in particular those involved in the REsourceEU Action Plan, which is linked to the EU Raw Materials Strategy. The critical minerals to be produced by Viridis are of strategic importance to the European Union.
Communication Activities
Viridis’ communication activities in relation to EU policy are limited and targeted, focusing primarily on direct engagement with relevant stakeholders rather than broad public campaigns. Our recent activities include: Participation in Hannover Messe 2026 (Germany): Representatives of Viridis are attending the Hannover Messe, where meetings will be held with members of the European Commission, including officials involved in the REsourceEU Action Plan, which is linked to the EU Raw Materials Strategy. These discussions will focus on: • The strategic importance of rare earth elements to the European Union • Viridis’ Colossus Project in Brazil as a potential secure and sustainable supply source • Opportunities for collaboration and alignment with EU raw materials strategy.
