FEATURED INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Recent changes have created attractive opportunities to acquire highly prospective ground in the following countries:
Long considered “orphans”, little attention has been paid to developing effective exploration models and in many environments, critical minerals do not respond well to traditional methods. XPM Global utilizes optimized exploration methods for each type of mineral sought, and adapted for use in deserts to humid tropical jungles with thick laterite / saprolite weathering.
Lithium:
Brazil, with well over 5000 known pegmatites along the East Pegmatite Province, is rapidly developing into a world class destination for lithium exploration. We have been executing fast, affordable and effective exploration in Brazil since 1995. The application of new technology and innovative methods allows lithium exploration to be undertaken up to 75% faster than for gold with corresponding cost reductions.
Ionic Clay REE
Ionic Clay deposits in China have been the leading source of REE for decades. Recent exploration, supported by published research has identified significant areas in Brazil and Africa as hosting REE +/- significant Li, Rb, Cs and these hold promise to be major new suppliers. We have been working in ionic clay environments in the Guiana and Brazilian Shields since 1991, and have the expertise to assist clients in all exploration activities.
INTERNATIONAL
World markets are dynamic, with constantly changing opportunity, risk and threats. What was an excellent opportunity 12 months ago may now be closed, or what had been closed for decades suddenly opens. We constantly monitor and track change, assess risk and threats, and are ready to act on opportunities, and respond to challenges as they occur.
SUPPLIERS & CONTRACTOR SOLUTIONS
Exploration projects need to import consultants and contractors, and procure goods and services in the local and international markets.
With over 30 years in helping dozens of firms navigate the complexities of international business, and with literally thousands of importations under our belt, we have the expertise to ensure that whatever resource your project needs gets there on time.
