Spark Energy Minerals: Strategic Lithium Projects in Brazil's Lithium Valley
Spark Energy Minerals, a Canadian exploration company, is advancing its lithium portfolio in Brazil, holding the largest continuous land package in the country’s emerging Lithium Valley
Flagship Project - Minas Gerais, Brazil
• Size: 64,359 hectares in the heart of Brazil's Lithium Valley
• Location: Minas Gerais state, a rapidly emerging world-class hard-rock lithium district
• Competitive Advantage: Coarse mineralogy enables simple and sustainable processing at low costs, rivaling top Australian hard-rock lithium projects
In addition to its flagship project, Spark also holds prospective lithium assets in Ceara State and Rio Grande do Norte, further diversifying its exploration portfolio in Brazil
Lithium Ionic is actively moving forward with permitting for the Bandeira lithium project
Resource Estimate: The Bandeira project has a measured and indicated resource of 7.57Mt @ 1.40% Li2O, with strong growth potential
Pilbara Minerals Acquisition of Latin Resources’ Flagship Salinas Lithium
Project Potential to become a top 10 hard rock lithium operation globally
Resource Estimate: The Salinas Lithium Project has an estimated resource of 77.7Mt @ 1.24% Li2O
Sigma Lithium is one of the world’s largest lithium producers
Grota do Cirilo project boasts a total resource of 45.7Mt @ 1.38% Li2O, positioning it as a world-class lithium resource
Sigma has received BNDES funding to expand its cabon-neutral production, doubling capacity from 270,000 tonnes to 520,000 tonnes per year
Spark Energy Holds the Largest Contiguous Land Tenement Package in Brazil’s Lithium Valley
Spark Energy Minerals' flagship project spans 64,359 hectares in Brazil's Lithium Valley, strategically situated just 30 km from major lithium producers like Sigma Lithium, Lithium Ionic, and Latin Resources. This prime location within a proven lithium district enhances the project's potential for success, aligning it with leading global lithium developers and positioning Spark to benefit from shared infrastructure, geological insights, and a rapidly growing lithium ecosystem
Emerging Hard-Rock Lithium District:
The region is gaining recognition for its high-grade spodumene deposits, crucial for producing high-quality Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE)
Lithium Valley Initiative:
In May 2023, the state and municipal governments launched the "Lithium Valley Brazil" initiative, aimed at streamlining lithium development and positioning Minas Gerais as a key global player in the lithium supply chain
With a strong mining legacy and government support, Minas Gerais is set to become a world-class lithium-producing region, and Spark Energy Minerals is strategically positioned to capitalize on this growth
