Canamera Energy Metals Corp. reported positive assay results from initial drilling at its Turvolândia rare earth project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with one hole returning 3,255 parts per million total rare earth oxide over 13 meters from surface. The results, from the first 27 of 55 completed auger holes, included a peak grade of 6,431 ppm over one meter in hole TUV-AUG-014, which also contained 5,486 ppm over three meters. The company stated that results from the eastern grid indicate the potential for an ionic clay-hosted rare earth system spanning approximately 1,200 meters by 1,100 meters.
Multiple holes returned elevated TREO from surface, with nine holes ending in mineralization due to ground conditions, suggesting the system remains open at depth. These findings come as global demand for rare earth elements continues to grow, driven by their essential role in clean energy technologies, electronics, and defense applications. The identification of potential ionic clay-hosted rare earth deposits is significant as such deposits often present different extraction challenges and opportunities compared to traditional hard rock sources.
Canamera Energy Metals Corp. is building a portfolio of district-scale opportunities across the Americas, with assets including projects in British Columbia, Northern Ontario, Colorado, and additional Brazilian properties. The company targets underexplored regions with strong geological signatures and supportive jurisdictions, applying various datasets to generate exploration targets.

These results from Turvolândia contribute to growing exploration activity in Brazil's mineral-rich regions, particularly for critical minerals deemed essential for economic and national security. As countries seek to diversify supply chains for critical minerals, discoveries in jurisdictions like Brazil could play an important role in future resource development.
