Services
Representation for international partners in Brazil.
Two mandates, one standard.
We represent Brazilian mineral assets to investors and buyers abroad, and we represent foreign suppliers inside the Brazilian mining market.
01 — For investors and buyers
Access to Brazilian minerals and processing projects.
A mineral asset sells on data, logistics and trust. We prepare the asset, protect every party and carry the conversation from the first data room to the signed agreement.
- Asset origination and screening — lithium, manganese, graphite and other strategic minerals
- Technical packages: independent assays, sampling protocols, mineralogy, logistics and capacity data
- Sample programmes — from 100–1,000 kg pilot samples to bulk validation shipments
- Site visits with our team on the ground, in your language
- Deal structuring: spot, offtake, prepayment, streaming and royalty, equity, joint venture, tolling
- Legal framework: NDA, mandate and non-circumvention, with local counsel
- Regulatory path: mining rights, environmental licensing and export documentation
- Logistics: port, freight, inspection and certification through to delivery
Deal structures
How capital enters a Brazilian project.
| Structure | How it works |
|---|---|
| Spot purchase | Single cargoes against inspection and assay at loading. |
| Offtake agreement | Fixed volumes over three to ten years on pre-agreed pricing terms — the backbone of mining project finance. |
| Prepayment | The buyer advances capital against future deliveries, settled in product over two to five years. |
| Streaming and royalty | Up-front capital for a share of future production or revenue. Non-dilutive for the producer. |
| Equity-for-supply | Battery makers and industrial buyers take equity in exchange for long-term supply. |
| Joint venture in processing | Shared ownership of the processing facility built next to the ore body. |
| Tolling | Ore processed under contract, with the product returned to the owner of the feed. |
02 — For suppliers entering Brazil
Market entry for foreign brands.
Brazil is one of the world's largest mining markets — and one of the most regulated and relationship-driven. Companies from twelve countries have entered it with Behalf as their representative.
- Market assessment, positioning and pricing logic
- Qualification and registration with mining majors and contractors
- Import, regulatory, certification and tax path
- Distribution, local stock and technical after-sales
- Key-account management and permanent field presence
- Trials, pilot installations and performance reporting
Product lines we have brought into Brazilian mining
- Composite conveyor idler rollers
- HMPE synthetic ropes, slings and soft shackles
- Fibre-reinforced polymer profiles, gratings, structures and rebar
- Conveyor belt enclosures and guards
- Mobile rapid-response maintenance units
03 — On the ground
Operational expertise behind every mandate.
Our field team spent decades inside large mining operations — conveyor systems, maintenance, vulcanization, Lean.
For investors, that means technical eyes on site. For suppliers, specification-level conversations with engineering and maintenance teams.
How a mandate runs
From first call to closing.
First conversation and NDA
We understand the objective and sign mutual confidentiality.
Mandate
Scope, exclusivity and non-circumvention agreed in writing.
Preparation
Technical package or market assessment, built to the standard the counterparty expects.
Introductions
Qualified counterparties, meetings, samples and site visits.
Structuring and negotiation
Terms, pricing logic, logistics and documentation.
Execution
Shipment, qualification or closing — and follow-through after signature.
Why a representative
The shortest path into Brazil is a relationship.
Qualification cycles at mining majors take months; a wrong tax or import structure costs years. A representative with fifteen years of standing shortens the cycle, avoids structural mistakes and keeps your brand in front of the buyer between visits — at a fraction of the cost of a subsidiary.
Let's open the door.
One conversation is enough to know whether we are the right partner. It costs nothing and we answer personally.
