Does the map confirm a rare-earth deposit?
No. The map organizes records and territorial context. An occurrence or visual convergence does not prove a resource, reserve, grade, or economic viability.
Can I submit information about an area?
Yes, when you have a legitimate relationship or authorization to represent the area and can explain the origin, context, and use limits of the material.
Does every contribution proceed to fieldwork?
No. The team reviews method fit, traceability, permissions, and technical usefulness. Only prioritized contributions may advance.
Does participation grant mineral rights?
No. A submission creates no title, license, concession, payment, or right over an area or a possible discovery.
Are rewards available now?
No. The Rewards Hub is an informational preview. Eligibility, validation, availability, and conditions must be published before activation.
Where does map data come from?
Layers identify sources including USGS, SGB/GeoSGB, ANM/SIGMINE, IBGE, MapBiomas, MMA, and NASA EONET. Each dataset has its own scale and update cycle.
How is a priority defined?
Priority comes from converging independent signals, explicit criteria, and a testable question. No isolated signal determines a decision.
Does the project replace official studies or technical due diligence?
No. The documentation and map support investigation. Legal, environmental, economic, or investment decisions require current data and qualified professionals.
