Summit will make a series of cash payments totalling $3.23m (A$5.17m) with the first payment due upon signing the definitive agreement Summit Minerals is set to expand its portfolio with the acquisition of the high-grade Mundo Novo Niobium-Rare Earth Element-Phosphate Carbonatite project in central Brazil The company has signed a binding letter of intent for the acquisition which is pending shareholder approval and due diligence The acquisition includes two National Mining Agency tenements covering an area of 17.2km² facilitating the purchase from Neofertil and E2 Minerals The financial terms of the agreement include a series of cash payments totalling A$5.17m with the first payment of A$2.2m due upon execution of the definitive agreement Additional payments are structured over a five-year period and linked to project milestones such as the discovery of a maiden mineral resource estimate and the preparation of a bankable feasibility study Summit will issue shares worth A$4m to the sellers in increments the first of which will also coincide with the execution of the definitive agreement The sellers retain the right to continue phosphate mining activities within the tenements Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis Summit will also grant the sellers a 2% net smelter return royalty on the project Summit managing director Gower He said: “We are thrilled with the potential acquisition of the Mundo Novo Carbonatite project a key investment in the niobium and rare earth element sector This investment is driven by strong long-term demand linked to the global clean energy transition and advancements in decarbonisation technologies “Mundo Novo has shown substantial potential for niobium rare earth element and phosphate mineralisation as evidenced by past drilling results that revealed considerable intercept widths The project’s geological potential aligns perfectly with our strategy to develop high-quality projects in Brazil that supply critical metals for the electric vehicle market and other clean energy applications.” In September 2024, Summit Minerals agreed to acquire a new tenement

across the GlobalData Media network Summit Minerals is running the ruler over Mundo Novo before committing to acquiring the niobium and REE project in Brazil Special Report: The expected long-term demand for niobium and rare earths has prompted Summit Minerals to execute an agreement to acquire the advanced Mundo Novo project in central Brazil The project has proven ionic adsorption clay-hosted REE niobium and phosphate-rich oxide mineralisation from surface with multiple zones offering multi-commodity exposure Limited shallow drilling to date has returned assays from surface such as 51m grading 10,000 parts per million total rare earth oxides 15m at 12,200ppm TREO and 20m at 12,100ppm TREO Many holes have ended in mineralisation and remain open Summit Minerals (ASX:SUM) notes that its preliminary studies indicate that Mundo Novo is an IAC-style REE deposit similar to Meteoric Resources’ (ASX:MEI) Poços de Caldas alkaline cabonatite complex Drilling has also intersected high-grade niobium with an assay of 9m at 1.23% Nb2O5 from 2m including 4m at 1.62% Nb2O5 Its niobium potential mirrors that of the Morro Preto deposit in the Catalão Complex also hosts the world’s second-largest niobium mine “We are thrilled with the potential acquisition of the Mundo Novo carbonatite project a key investment in the niobium and rare earth element sector,” managing director Gower He said “This investment is driven by strong long-term demand linked to the global clean energy transition and advancements in decarbonisation technologies “The project’s geological potential aligns perfectly with our strategy to develop high-quality projects in Brazil that supply critical metals for the electric vehicle (EV) market and other clean energy applications “Although the vendors had multiple suitors The company was presented with this opportunity as recognition of its fast-paced and committed approach to niobium exploration in Brazil “This project represents an outstanding addition to the company; upon completion the company will have added a drill-ready niobium carbonatite project to its existing suite of Brazilian assets.” The Mundo Novo alkaline complex lies in the northern section of the Goiás alkaline province a region characterised by Late Cretaceous alkaline magmatism along the northern margin of the Paraná Basin Its distinctive zoning patterns reflect magmatic differentiation which are all crucial for understanding the intrusion’s mineralisation and economic potential Niobium is concentrated in the central zones of the calcite-rich carbonatites which themselves form the central core of the intrusion while phosphates – dominated by apatite – span the central to intermediate zones Light REEs are enriched near the core while heavy REEs dominate the periphery Thanks to its similarities with the Morro Preto deposit initial exploration had focused on evaluating its phosphate potential for fertilisers this work revealed significant geochemical anomalies of phosphorus leading to the expansion of evaluation work Drilling to date has been primarily vertical and shallow returning thick intersections of REE and niobium with significant potential for expansion of the latter at depth SUM will now carry out extensive legal and geological due diligence over the project before going to its shareholders for approval to acquire Mundo Novo This

restaurant prepares to move to Dartmouth it’s bringing something extra to the table: its signature hot sauce soon to be bottled for customers to take home Owners Carla and Jonathan Amaral are making the move to 24 Cove Road in South Dartmouth (former Thirsty Whale/Miller's Homeport) a transition driven by the need for more space and better parking While the decision to leave their longtime home was bittersweet the Amarals see it as an opportunity to continue the restaurant’s legacy for another generation “This has been our home for 31 years so it’s very emotional,” Carla said and my son wants to carry on the tradition.” Novo Mundo fans can rest assured that the beloved Portuguese steak the move brings something exciting: a long-awaited plan to bottle the restaurant’s signature hot sauce “Our customers have been asking for this for years,” Jonathan said “They always want extra to-go cups of it the Amarals plan to get their sauce into supermarkets Though the timeline for bottling is still in the works it’s a natural next step for the restaurant as it settles into its new home Novo Mundo is expected to open in Dartmouth by the end of this coming summer with only a brief closure before the transition The family also hopes to bring a piece of their original location with them incorporating artwork from the old restaurant into the new space Churrascaria Novo Mundo remains the same – just with a little extra spice for the road New Bedford's Novo Mundo is moving to Dartmouth and plans to bottle its signature hot sauce, letting fans take home the heat they’ve loved for

The state produces 30% of the 24.62 gigawatts of national production of this type of energy, according to the Renewable Energy Map The model that renewables developers here are pursuing is known as centralized generation where wind farms are clustered in a given region to produce a large amount of energy from a concentrated space But this model tends to cause great harm to both people’s lives and the environment a physics professor and expert in energy policy at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) “It is wrong for us to talk about clean energy because there is deforestation in this process there is a change in landscapes and in the way of life and all this creates big problems,” Costa says While emphasizing that he supports renewable energy development to reduce carbon emissions Costa says the current Brazilian model and its management need to be discussed as they’re likely to result in “irreversible and irresponsible damage.” The extent to which wind energy is “clean” is a crucial question — one with reputational impacts for the companies developing it “Calling wind and solar energy clean energy implies and this exempts companies from having to submit an environmental impact assessment [EIA] and environmental impact report [RIMA by its Portuguese acronym] which are two essential documents in the inspection implementation of projects that affect the environment,” Costa says The regulatory framework for these projects can be complicated the licensing and oversight of wind energy projects operating in the country are the responsibility of each state established through laws approved by Congress and applicable nationwide it’s the environmental agency of each state that analyzes licenses and authorizes the operation of private wind farms There are also many incentives in place from the government to spur the development of sustainable energy yet not enough incentives to ensure they comply with regulations to protect communities or move away from the centralized generation model The law allows states to grant discounts and exemptions on state taxes and the federal government to provide tax incentives on developers’ revenue Financing is also available through the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) for Brazilian companies developing wind projects wind farms are causing a different kind of disruption: threatening a local ecosystem Scientists and environmentalists have denounced the development of the Pedra Lavrada wind complex by Casa dos Ventos Energias Renováveis the biggest Brazilian renewable energy developer The project would see 372 wind turbines peppered across 1,600 hectares (nearly 4,000 acres) of land straddling eight municipalities in Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba states the construction of wind farms near bird habitats poses a threat not only from the risk of collision with the turbine propellers and power lines but also from the impact of construction on the vegetation the birds require to survive Another particular concern is the potential for damage to or destruction of archaeological sites in Seridó ancient dwellings and more from ancient Indigenous cultures In the region of the Olho d’Água and Bojo streams alone all of which could be damaged in blasts like the one that cracked the wall in Moura’s house the EIA and the RIMA submitted by Casa dos Ventos to obtain its license were flawed “There is no ecological zoning and there is a lack of technical studies to assess the negative impacts of the undertakings on biodiversity and human life in the areas surrounding the parks,” the NGO said in a statement Pedra Lavrada is just one of several wind farms planned around the geopark are awaiting approval from state authorities and are expected to generate 1.5 GW — 50% more than the 0.99 GW that the entire state of Pernambuco The lack of thorough studies to identify and mitigate the medium- and long-term impacts of building clusters of wind turbines has already led to unforeseen consequences Fishers in Ponta do Tubarão State Sustainable Development Reserve in Sertãozinho have been living with some of these impacts a type of protected area where some forms of sustainable exploitation of resources are permitted currently hosts five wind turbines that are part of the Miassaba II wind farm owned by the Brazilian company Bioenergy Geradora which can weigh up to 72 tons and reach 200 meters in height are located in a dune area between the river and the sea a strategic location for the region’s fishers who have to cross a tidal arm in their canoes to reach the sandy barrier that separates the mangroves from the ocean To allow access for the company’s trucks and SUVs workers built a gravel road — made of stone and coarser sand than the beach sand — that crosses the sandy barrier from end to end The road’s embankment is 2 meters (6 feet) higher than the surrounding terrain effectively creating a wall between the residents of Sertãozinho and the sea this has meant a radical change in his routine Whereas before they would easily cross the sandy barrier to reach the sea now he and the other fishers have to scramble up the gravel embankment carrying their nets and other fishing gear only this time carrying fish baskets weighing up to 30 kilograms (66 pounds) “Our work depends on the tides; sometimes we work during the day and at night,” Martins says Bioenergy Geradora couldn’t be reached for comment The company’s website lists a phone number the company says that “for the implementation of the Miassaba 2 and Aratuá 1 parks Bioenergy has taken several socioenvironmental actions,” but it doesn’t elaborate on what these actions are The Aratuá 1 park is also located in Rio Grande do Norte The impact on the Ponta do Tubarão reserve has also increased concerns about what’s still to come: offshore wind farms “It is necessary to consider the infrastructure that will be set up for the installation of these offshore farms and the damage they will cause,” says Luiz Ribeiro a fisher and member of the reserve’s management council which would involve removing these structures The environment is being modified too frequently and the consequences are severe.” Ribeiro says multiple objections were raised with environmental regulators against the installation of the wind farms in the reserve He adds that establishing a dialogue with the state government led by the Workers’ Party of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva “We can see that one of the wind turbines is less than 33 meters [108 ft] away from the highest tide so it is a completely illegal construction according to the rules … which stipulate that any masonry structure is only allowed after the 33-meter mark,” Ribeiro says when we were mapping the markers placed by the company to demarcate the area for the construction of the wind turbines we found a turtle nest in one of the sections no study has been submitted to the state government that shows the impact that wind farms can have on these species that nest here.” the municipality where the Ponta do Tubarão reserve is located formerly run by state-owned oil company Petrobras but sold to 3R Petroleum in 2019 at the beginning of then-president Jair Bolsonaro’s administration The difference with the planned offshore wind farms is that the oil platforms are far from the fishers’ routes “The wind turbines will be placed on top of fishing grounds locations heavily used by fishermen in their activities,” he says “Maritime regulations prohibit vessels from approaching within a 500-meter [550-yard] radius of structures in the sea so this will prevent fishermen from accessing areas where fish shoals gather.” While the fishers at Sertãozinho have to climb a wall to get to the sea residents of the coastal village of Enxu Queimado have completely lost their access to their fishing grounds after a new wind farm was built on the outskirts of the village the people of Enxu Queimado had high hopes for the wind farm which were soon dashed when the propellers started turning “When the wind energy businessmen arrived here and it was all very beautiful propaganda,” says fisher and community leader Maria Joelma Martins “They said we would have normal access to the park areas They also promised marvelous social services because they would do everything they could for the community But the reality is that they did absolutely nothing.” The União dos Ventos wind farm was built by Serveng Energia a subsidiary of Brazilian conglomerate Serveng “They prohibited anyone from entering the wind farms; you can’t enter without permission That’s why everything is fenced,” Martins says The fence extends beyond the boundaries of the wind farm up to a point along the seaside the fence prevented direct access to the sea forcing the fishers to make a detour to where their boats were anchored and where the fishing of shellfish and crustaceans is better The company eventually moved its fence back following community pressure Serveng Energia couldn’t be reached for comment and we coordinated with SEDRAF,” Martins says referring to the state agency for rural development and family farming That’s how our battle began,” she adds the community has lost one of its sources of livelihood “Our tradition was to run on the dunes and swim in the lagoons that formed between the dunes as well as to plant and harvest in the forests and floodplains,” says one of the fishers They spent a whole year just deforesting and destroying the sand hills to build the parks.” Losing access to the sea wasn’t the only problem the Enxu Queimado community has had to contend with The model of planting large tracts of land with hundreds of wind turbines has created more than just environmental problems Enxu Queimado isn’t part of the bustling tourist routes in the state There’s only one restaurant in the village located on the ground floor of the village’s sole inn the arrival of the União dos Ventos wind farm nearby has led to a surge in local real estate prices which in turn has drawn at least two speculators claiming to be the owners of the land that the village sits on during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when an Italian businessman arrived in the community with “everything planned out,” as she puts it “He claimed to have all the information about our houses even down to the number of pieces of furniture and rooms in each one,” she says “He asked us to go to the notary because everything was ready for the regularization process The businessman even attempted to charge the villagers fees for surveys they’d never asked for The case has since turned into a legal battle represented by Italian national Marcello Giovanardi the company presented a land purchase document and obtained a favorable court ruling for repossession of the land from the villagers the 3,100 inhabitants would either have to vacate their homes or purchase them from the new supposed “owner.” the decision was later overturned by a higher court the lawyer representing the residents of Enxu Queimado says the company can’t prove ownership of lands it had never occupied to begin with “This type of action aims to regain possession that no longer exists because a squatter was expelled from the land and now wants it back,” Freire says “The issue is that in order to claim possession of the land as only those who use the land are entitled to it Giovanardi didn’t answer to phone calls and WhatsApp messages requesting comments Aside from the environmental and legal issues that have emerged from the installation of wind farms close to villages there’s also a concern about their effect on public health particularly through long-term exposure to the noise and dust generated by the turbines sleep is only possible with the help of medication cracks appeared in the walls of Rosalma de Melo’s house after the installation of wind farms by Cubico Sustainable Investments The turbines stand just 150 m (about 500 ft) behind the property where she lives with her husband “We have suffered a lot because of the noise With her house surrounded by wind turbines Melo says she fears the structures may collapse and cause a serious accident the propeller of one of them fell right behind my house,” she says when the blades of one of the turbines exploded and fell “The day the propeller broke was very scary,” Melo says That’s because it was just a piece of the propeller If it had been the whole tower it would have done a lot more damage.” A video recorded by the family shows shards of the blade hanging perilously off the propeller hub while a loud noise emanates from the turbine Cubico didn’t respond to requests for comment. On its website Cubico says it’s “committed to playing a significant role in the world’s transition towards clean energy while respecting the environment and social development of the communities in which we operate We are passionate about shaping the future of energy with a long-term investment philosophy that generates stable returns for our shareholders.” AES Brasil acquired the Caetés Wind Complex in November 2022 and said in a statement that it has carried out a “communication campaign to present itself to neighboring communities as the new company responsible for the venture as well as to make its channels available service.” The institutional contact channels that AES offers residents are e-mail and telephone Regarding the complaints presented by the residents regarding the socio-environmental damage caused by the wind farm complex facilities AES stated that “it has evaluated all the issues raised by the community and maintained periodic dialogues with the group of representatives of the families and the lawyer who represent them and is confident that together they will reach a solution to the issue.” says adopting an alternative business model could help minimize the potential risks and damage from such renewable energy projects in Brazil He calls for decentralized systems of smaller installations rather than the current system of large “The larger the area occupied by wind turbines the greater the impact on the environment will be,” he says Costa points to successful examples of decentralized systems in Brazil such as the installation of solar panels on residential rooftops and the installation of smaller numbers of turbines within limited areas “If large-scale installations are truly necessary and well-justified they should be located in areas affected by desertification to minimize direct interference with people’s daily lives and the environment,” he says the fragility of public institutions in Brazil exacerbates the threats posed by large-scale enterprises Lax environmental standards and a lack of effective oversight for renewable energy ventures have contributed to the detrimental impacts caused by these industrial-scale wind farms Antônio Moura says he’s been assured by representatives from EDP Renewables that they’ll implement community improvements as compensation for the damage caused by the installation of their turbines leaving the residents to shoulder the burden of repairing the damage caused by the blasting “They disclaimed any responsibility for the cracks forcing me to personally purchase materials and cover all expenses my house would have collapsed,” Moura says Moura made the decision to abandon life in Recanto He now rents a house in the municipality of Lajes and makes the daily commute of 23 kilometers (14 miles) to tend his corn In addition to dealing with the damage and frustrations caused by the arrival of the wind farm he’s considered relinquishing his property altogether due to the unbearable weight of the damage caused by the wind farm and his waning strength to keep fighting for his rights Many people said I would benefit from the arrival of the towers I think I even lost a bit of joy for life.” This story was originally published in Portuguese by Marco Zero.

Dear son, I write this so that someday in the future you might understand a circumstance which shall be but a far memory to you. Your dear mother, Rebecca, fell ill in our outward passage at Gravesend. She gently reminded me that all must die. 'Tis enough, she said, that you our child, should live.'" RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Written in Portuguese on one wall above center court at Carioca Arena is the phrase “Um mundo novo.” Translation: A new world It didn’t seem that way in men’s basketball to start the Rio Games Threatened by Australia in its previous game men’s team started fast but had to survive a heart-racing final seconds to beat Serbia 94-91 on Friday the 49th consecutive international tournament win for the Americans who had a chance to tie it in the final seconds but guard Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 3-pointer from the left wing was a little long and Kevin Durant secured the rebound to keep the relieved Americans’ streak intact Kyrie Irving scored 15 points and Durant and Carmelo Anthony had 12 apiece for the U.S which arrived in Brazil being lauded as another American super squad and gold-medal lock after a close call against Australia earlier this week and now another against Serbia the rest of the field might be starting to believe the Americans can be taken We should have held the lead and we just got sidetracked by stupid stuff That’s the way it’s going to be out here.” Milos Teodosic 18 and Miloslav Raduljica 18 before fouling out for the Serbs who fell to 1-3 but left Carioca Arena feeling confident after taking the Americans down to the final ticks It was the first Olympic game between the nations and a rematch of the 2014 Basketball World Cup championship won by the U.S this never resembled that track meet as the Serbs slowed the tempo and forced the Americans into turnovers and rushed possessions The world’s best team certainly didn’t play like it for long stretches and just may not be the gold-medal lock many predicted which will wrap up preliminary-round play against France on Sunday led 94-87 with 2:11 left on a basket by Anthony But the Serbs got a basket by Jokic and two free throws Teodosic to get within three misfired with eight seconds left giving Serbia one last chance who had a great look from 22 feet but was just off the mark “We are that kind of a team that we never give up and we showed this today,” Teodosic said “This is third game in a row that we have a very bad beginning and especially (against) the teams like the United States it’s very tough to get back in the game when you are losing by 10 or 15 in the beginning.” The 10-point win over Australia — just the fifth time the U.S has won by 10 or fewer since 2006 — raised the possibility that this American team might not be as golden as previous ones insists there is more global balance in hoops “When people look at it like it’s just supposed to be easy I kind of tune them out because they don’t understand,” he said Thursday “They don’t understand that other people are really good we think it’s all going to be easy and then we’re not going to play well and we’re not going to win the Americans were in attack mode from the start They were connected on defense and they put on an early offensive exhibition flashing the firepower no other team can match Paul George knocked down a 3-pointer and Cousins made a play that drew a huge roar from the crowd — and Serbia’s bench the 6-foot-10 Cousins spun away from Teodosic and went in for an uncontested dunk to make it 8-0 Serbia coach Sasa Djordjevic thought Cousins traveled on the play and was slapped with a technical foul one of Europe’s top guards who hasn’t tried his game in the U.S. made a couple nifty inside passes to the bearded and heavily tattooed Raduljica for dunks The Serbs hung around and nearly hung a stunning loss on the Americans Click here to read the Spanish version One of the
