Brazilian Rare Earths Ltd. has made a new high-grade discovery at its Sulista project in Bahia, Brazil, opening up a new mineralised system and extending known deposits as it builds towards an updated mineral resource estimate by the end of 2026.
Stage 1 diamond drilling at the new Sulista South target, located 800 metres south of the Sulista East deposit, intercepted multiple stacked rare earth mineralised seams across 500 metres of strike.
Intersections returned grades of up to 13.3 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) with true mineralisation thickness reaching up to 18 metres.
The system remains open along strike and at depth, with a major southern exploration corridor spanning over 4.5 kilometres remaining completely untested.
Simultaneous step-out drilling at Sulista East extended the deposit’s strike footprint by 350 metres to the north and 80 metres to the south. Infill drilling across the deposit also successfully confirmed spatial continuity, geometry, and grade distribution, strengthening geological confidence to support potential resource conversions from Inferred to Indicated classifications.
“The Sulista South discovery gives us a new high-grade mineralised system to delineate, while successful drilling just at Sulista East is extending known mineralisation and strengthening the geological model,” said CEO Bernardo da Veiga.
“Our next objective is an updated mineral resource by the end of 2026. Alongside that work, we will assess how Sulista could underpin additional high-grade feed to our planned Camaçari processing hub and support long-term province-scale growth around shared infrastructure.”
The company is now advancing a follow-up drilling campaign exceeding 10,000 metres across the broader district, alongside 5,000 metres of infill drilling at Sulista East.
Sulista offers potential long-term upside to serve as an additional high-grade feed source for the company’s planned Camaçari processing hub, supplementing its primary Monte Alto development case.
