Brazil Lithium Project
Solis Minerals holds a district scale exploration package of 93,000 hectares in the Araçuaí–Salinas Lithium Valley in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This region in Minas Gerais has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s most active hard-rock lithium districts, attracting major investment and continuous growth from leading global developers.
The Araçuaí–Salinas Lithium Valley hosts a cluster of high-grade spodumene deposits within the Salinas Formation metasediments, intruded by fertile Neoproterozoic granites – geology directly comparable to other world-class Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (“LCT”) pegmatite provinces such as the Greenbushes–Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia and Superior Province in Ontario & Manitoba, Canada. The Araçuaí–Salinas Lithium Valley’s mineral endowment, supportive state policies and rapidly expanding infrastructure have created a powerful corridor of lithium exploration, development and production.
The concessions were acquired in April 2026 from a subsidiary of Rio Tinto and are host to a number of priority target areas based on extensive exploration work conducted by the previous owners. This included soil samples and auger drilling with results +300ppm Li.
The tenure sits directly adjacent to PLS’ tenure, where Solis Minerals executives Chris Gale, Tony Greenaway, and Mitch Thomas delivered major exploration, development and divestment success. This gives Solis Minerals an advantage in the region given first-hand technical knowledge of the district’s geology, discovery, and exploration pathways, including important governmental, technical and community relationships that can expedite exploration efforts.
