This collaboration allows for reduced exploration costs, accessing preferential rates on laboratories and machinery hiring, assuming the value up to a third of the usual cost in the local market. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progress on the niobium carbonatite project<\/h2>\n\n<p>Development will focus on critical <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/south-star-battery-metals-announces-the-construction-of-its-graphite-mine-in-brazil\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"80340\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">critical minerals<\/a><\/strong> at Santa Anna, while EDEM will take care of the phosphate potential. In addition to the scheduled drilling, both parties will discuss joint development opportunities on other projects within the Brazilian mining company&#8217;s network. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>Power Minerals<\/strong> initiated a due diligence phase after signing a binding letter of intent granting it an exclusive option on the project. A 2,000-meter <strong>reverse circulation<\/strong><em>(RC<\/em>) <strong>drilling<\/strong> campaign is planned to confirm the potential of the deposit according to the 2012 JORC code criteria. <\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>Santa Anna project<\/strong> hosts a database of over 190 previous drill holes and zones that reveal continuous REE mineralization from surface to the end of the drill holes. There are <strong>extensive areas yet to be drilled<\/strong>, representing additional discovery opportunities, both at depth and in lateral zones of the alkali complex. <\/p>\n\n<p>With this potential acquisition, <strong>Power <\/strong>is seeking to consolidate its position as a major player in clean energy <strong>metals exploration<\/strong> in South America. The operating experience of EDEM, which has already developed one of Brazil&#8217;s <strong>major bauxite mines<\/strong>, represents a key tactical advantage to accelerate work at Santa Anna. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p id=\"block-2ccd5b01-f7b0-41c7-bd84-5fb1552af18c\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow\">X (Twitter)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@inspenet?_t=8qqIL6dRGNR&amp;_r=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerminerals.com.au\/site\/content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Power Minerals<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the state of Goi\u00e1s, Power Minerals Limited has entered into a strategic alliance with the Brazilian mining company EDEM, aiming at the joint development of the Santa Anna Project, an asset with high potential in niobium, phosphate and rare earth elements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":258143,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13030,13060],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-258180","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-industry","categoria_noticias-mining"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/258180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/258180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=258180"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=258180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
