Brazil - Mining Sector and Exposibram Opportunities for U.S. Exporters

Discover Brazil’s largest mining trade show and connect directly with key decision-makers, explore project opportunities, and form partnerships in one of the world’s leading mineral markets.

Brazil’s mining sector is a vital component of the country’s economy and one of the most significant in Latin America, with rich reserves of iron ore, gold, copper, and increasingly important critical minerals like lithium. Concentrated in states such as Minas Gerais, Pará, and Bahia, the industry plays a major role in exports and job creation in Brazil. As companies in the sector shift toward greater innovation, efficiency, and sustainability, demand is rising for high-performance mining equipment and advanced technologies.
This modernization push creates strong opportunities for U.S. suppliers of machinery, automation systems, and decarbonization solutions. 

Brazilian mining firms are seeking safer, more environmentally responsible, and cost-effective operations, that are well aligned with the expertise and technological capabilities of U.S. exporters. U.S. equipment is widely respected in Brazil for its quality, reliability, and ability to operate in complex environments, giving U.S. firms a competitive edge in the market. Exposibram, organized by the Brazilian Mining Institute (IBRAM), is Brazil’s leading mining trade show and a key platform for international engagement. 

The 2025 edition in Salvador, Bahia, is especially strategic as the region becomes more prominent in critical mineral development. For U.S. companies, Exposibram offers a high-impact venue to connect with Brazilian buyers, demonstrate solutions, and explore commercial partnerships. With support from the U.S. Commercial Service, participating firms can enhance their visibility, access business matchmaking services, and capitalize on one of the most dynamic mining markets in the world.
