The Department for Business & Trade are organising a trade mission to Brazil during the Brazilian Mining Expo & Congress EXPOSIBRAM from the 9th – 12th September 2024. 

The Geo-Resources Strategic Sector Strengthening project, which is a partnership between the Cornish Chamber of Mines and Minerals, Cornwall Mining Alliance, and the University of Exeter, is providing support to businesses to attend this.

Successful candidates will have also completed this Sector Needs Survey.
