"Brazil has a diverse, multi-commodity geological endowment, with untapped exploration potential. This has been a main focal point for foreign investment," said Roberto Xavier, Executive Director of ADIMB. "Another focus for the Brazilian mining sector is instituting reforms to strengthen regulations and enforce intellectual property rights. In addition,  these new proposed reforms and tax laws are intended to simplify the tax regime for all economic activities in the country," said Mr. Xavier.

The Brazilian government continues to restructure reforms to become less bureaucratic and more efficient, strengthening the competitiveness of the jurisdiction. These reforms are expected to enable the transformation of Brazil's economic landscape. "Brazil has immense potential for exploration. The mining industry is a driving force of the Brazilian economy; it is imperative the private and public sectors support one another", said Alexandre Vidigal de Oliveira, the Secretariat of Geology, Mining and Mineral Transformation of the Ministry of Mines and Energy. "As we continue to attract new investments, we are committed to technological development in order to increase sustainable mining practices that comply with ESG initiatives."

In addition, the Brazilian Mining Delegation opened the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on Monday, March 2nd, and as previously announced, IBRAM signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the TSX and TSX Venture Exchange in order to establish a relationship to increase investment in the Brazilian mining sector.

As part of Brazil Day, Evelyn Coulombe, Consul General of Canada in Rio de Janeiro, spoke at the Women in Mining Brazil event. This event launched the action plan for the advancement of women in the Brazilian mining industry, followed by the signing of the action plan by Largo Resources and Nexa. "We continue to move Brazil's mining sector forward through innovation and diversity initiatives, in order to attract top talent. We support and connect a strong network of industry associations and government leaders to ensure continuation of this project and support for the development of women in mining," said Ms. Coulombe.

The Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce ("BCCC") will be hosting the Brazil-Canada Exclusive Capital Markets Luncheon at PDAC today, March 3rd, 2020 at 11:45 a.m. EDT. Amongst those in attendance will be leading mining executives and Brazilian national representatives.
