We will now work diligently to submit our financial support requests and look forward to providing updates to our shareholders in the near future.’

The R$5 billion funding program is part of the New Industry Brazil initiative and is designed to support both large-scale industrial plants and pilot projects, with a focus on research, development, and innovation (R&D&I). With approximately R$8 billion reserved for investments in company equity—partly in partnership with mining leader Vale—the initiative is expected to leverage additional private investment and accelerate Brazil’s leadership in sustainable, low-carbon mineral supply chains.
