ANM Permits, EIA-RIMA & Dam Safety Documentation
Brazil holds the world's largest iron ore and niobium reserves, and attracts billions in annual foreign investment. Every ANM permit, IBAMA license, and dam safety plan is a gate through which that capital flows — and every one is in Portuguese.
The Regulatory Stack That Foreign Capital Must Clear
Brazil's mining regulatory framework is multi-layered. The ANM controls mining concessions; IBAMA and state agencies (SEMAD, SEMAS) manage environmental licensing; ANA oversees water use; FUNAI is involved near indigenous lands. For Canadian TSX and Australian ASX-listed miners, NI 43-101 and JORC reporting obligations add another layer.
STIB's mining translation team includes bilingual engineers and geologists who understand both the regulatory framework and the technical terminology — from geotechnical stability classifications to resource estimation methodologies. We've handled packages from 50-page JV agreements to 2,200-page EIA-RIMA + dam safety sets.
