DR Congo to Establish $100M Mine Security Force with US and UAE Support

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) is set to invest $100 million in creating a paramilitary force dedicated to securing its mining operations. This initiative is financially backed by the United States and the United Arab Emirates. The plan involves hiring 20,000 mining guards by 2028, aiming to address the longstanding security challenges that have hindered the development of the country's extractive industries. DR Congo, a leading global producer of cobalt and a major supplier of copper, has recently entered into a partnership with the United States. This agreement provides US companies with preferential access to DR Congo's mining assets, as part of a broader strategy to counter China's dominance in critical mineral supply chains. The partnership also includes commitments from DR Congo to improve security in its mining sector and enhance the overall business environment.

Brazil Rejects State Miner Proposal Amid Stalled US Deal

Brazil Rejects State Miner Proposal Amid Stalled US Deal

Brazil's Industry Minister Marcio Elias Rosa announced that the country sees no need to establish a state-run critical minerals company, countering proposals for a state-backed entity. This decision comes as a national framework for critical minerals remains stalled in Congress, with the Lula administration missing its deadline for a broader mining strategy. The proposed bill, led by federal deputy Arnaldo Jardim, includes a fund to support mining projects but has raised concerns about potential state intervention. Finance Minister Dario Durigan emphasized that the forthcoming framework will prioritize national sovereignty and domestic value creation without broad tax breaks, relying instead on strong global demand to attract investment. The U.S. is engaging with Brazil at the regional level, with the central state of Goiás advancing a memorandum of understanding with U.S. partners to expand research and investment in the Serra Verde rare earths operation.
