Brazilian Critical Minerals is pioneering the use of in-situ recovery (ISR) for rare earths outside China. ISR is a proven extraction method that avoids open-pit mining and delivers significant environmental and cost advantages. Instead of moving earth and rock, a mild leaching solution is circulated through the clay horizon, extracting rare earths directly into solution for processing. 

By applying ISR to the Ema Project, BCM is delivering a rare earth development pathway that combines scale, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility. This innovation sets Ema apart from conventional projects and positions BCM as a first mover in sustainable rare earth production outside China

Minimal Environmental Impact: No open pits, haulage fleets, or large processing plants — far less land disturbance.

Low Operating Costs: ISR provides one of the world’s lowest cost structures for rare earth extraction.

Sustainability Aligned: Uses recyclable reagents with no deleterious by-products and significantly lower carbon and water footprint.

Proven Concept: Widely applied in uranium mining and demonstrated in rare earth operations in China for decades.

, this ionic clay rare earth project in Perak State, Malaysia, provides a strong reference point for the type of development Brazilian Critical Minerals aims to replicate.

Construction of both the processing plant and mining areas was completed within months, with the first leaching area successfully injected and rare earth–bearing liquid collected soon after.

This project demonstrates the scalability and efficiency of modern ionic clay rare earth operations — from in-situ leaching to on-site processing — aligning closely with BCM’s vision to develop sustainable, low-impact rare earth projects in Brazil.
