Canamera Energy Metals Corp. reported positive assay results from the first 27 of 55 completed auger holes at its Turvolândia rare earth project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The results were highlighted by hole TUV-AUG-014 returning 3,255 parts per million total rare earth oxide over 13 meters from surface, including 5,486 ppm over 3 meters and a peak grade of 6,431 ppm over 1 meter.
The company said results from the eastern grid indicate the potential for an ionic clay-hosted rare earth system spanning roughly 1,200 meters by 1,100 meters. Multiple holes returned elevated TREO from surface, and nine holes ended in mineralization due to ground conditions, suggesting the system remains open at depth. These findings are significant because ionic clay-hosted rare earth deposits represent a potentially more economical and environmentally friendly source of these critical minerals compared to traditional hard rock mining.
The Turvolândia project is part of Canamera Energy Metals Corp.'s broader portfolio of district-scale opportunities across the Americas. The company's asset base includes the Mantle project in British Columbia, the Garrow rare earth elements project in Northern Ontario, the Schryburt Lake rare earth and niobium project in Ontario, the Iron Hills critical and rare earth project in Colorado, USA, and the Turvolândia and São Sepé rare earth element projects in Brazil. Across this portfolio, Canamera targets underexplored regions with strong geological signatures and supportive jurisdictions.
These results come at a time when global demand for rare earth elements continues to grow, driven by their essential role in clean energy technologies, electric vehicles, and defense applications. The potential development of a new rare earth source in Brazil could help diversify global supply chains that are currently dominated by China.

The mining sector continues to seek new sources of critical minerals as global demand increases and supply chain security becomes a priority for many nations. Results like those reported from Turvolândia represent important steps in identifying potential new sources of these essential materials. The project's location in Brazil adds geographic diversity to rare earth exploration efforts, which could have implications for global supply dynamics and pricing in the coming years.
