States and the Federal District received more than R$93 million, while municipalities received more than R$372 million, according to the agency’s breakdown.

It was the second CFEM distribution processed through the Mineral Resources Management Platform, introduced in July. ANM said the platform handled 99.62% of September’s total collections. CFEM is a public royalty tied to mineral extraction; the announced amounts refer to September revenue distributed in October.
