Brazilian Party Seeks to Halt Sale of Serra Verde to USA Rare Earth on Security Grounds
The Brazilian political party Rede Sustentabilidade has petitioned the country's Supreme Court to suspend the sale of the mining company Serra Verde Group to USA Rare Earth Inc. The party argues that the transaction, valued at $2.8 billion, could compromise national security by transferring significant economic control over Brazil's strategic mineral resources. Serra Verde's operations in Goiás are undergoing upgrades, with production expected to increase significantly. The sale, if completed, would be one of the largest in the rare earths industry. Both Serra Verde and USA Rare Earth have not commented on the matter.
