Australian mining company Viridis Mining has partnered with a consortium led by Sedgman, a subsidiary of ACS (Cimic) and Brazilian engineering firm Blossom Consultoria, to develop the Colossus project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This project is a key investment of 400 million euros for the company, which aims to contribute to the diversification of critical mineral supply chains and support the growing demand for materials essential to renewable energy technologies and advanced manufacturing.
The Colossus project, located in Poços de Caldas, is expected to begin extraction and processing of rare earth minerals around 2028. Initial design estimates have allocated 3 million dollars for the first phase, with a total budget of 120 million dollars already secured for the project. The processing plant is designed to handle five million tons per year, and it is projected that the mine will produce an average of 9,500 tons per year of total rare earth oxide (Treo) and 3,500 tons per year of magnetic rare earth oxide (Mreo) over its 20-year operational life.
Net present value of the mine, according to the latest feasibility study, is estimated at 1.410 million dollars. ACS is involved in providing services for the mining industry and promoting projects related to the processing of critical minerals and rare earths.
