Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) plays a crucial role in the development of science and technology within the nation’s mining sector. To ensure the mining industry adapts to accommodate Brazil’s economic and environmental aspirations, the MME formulates and oversees the enforcement of regulations that govern the mining sector.
