Developing natural resource opportunities in Brazil.
Distribution Products (International) Ltd (DPIL) is a UK-based investment and development company focused on the potential of a mineral and natural resources asset in Paraíba, Brazil.
Our principal target is tourmaline, alongside the commercial potential of sand, clay and granite. The possibility of gold and rare earth minerals remains subject to further investigation.
Our objective is to develop the mine responsibly, establish efficient extraction operations and create long-term value from the resources within the project area.
From disinfection to natural resources.
DPIL began with the aim of acquiring and developing a natural, high-performance disinfection product. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company invested in research and development and established manufacturing facilities in the UK and the UAE.
As demand changed during 2022 and 2023, the Directors closed the manufacturing facilities and discontinued the disinfection operation rather than continue incurring losses. They then explored commodity trading and natural resources opportunities to establish a new direction while preserving the interests of existing investors.
Commodity trading, including sunflower oil, led in 2025 to a relationship with a Brazilian organisation seeking funding for its mining activities. Following discussions and investigations, DPIL redirected its strategy towards the development of the Brazilian project. Mining and natural resources now form the core of the company’s strategy.
The Paraíba mining project.
The project is located in Paraíba, Brazil, a region recognised internationally for its tourmaline. The project area covers approximately 800 hectares and offers the potential to develop several complementary resources.
Tourmaline
Tourmaline is the principal target of the project. DPIL’s strategy centres on developing its gemstone potential for the jewellery and gemstone markets, supported by the region’s reputation for highly sought-after tourmaline.
Sand and clay
The project area contains deposits of sand and clay, with established applications in Brazil’s construction sector. Their potential extraction could support additional revenue streams alongside the gemstone operation.
Granite
Natural granite deposits may provide another commercially valuable resource. Granite has established uses in construction and architectural applications.
Potential gold and rare earth minerals
The potential presence of gold and rare earth minerals requires further geological investigation. The nature, extent and commercial viability of any such deposits have yet to be established.
Our asset and ownership.
DPIL has acquired 100% of Boa Fe Mineracao (UK) Ltd, the UK company holding the leasehold land asset associated with the project, together with the mining licences, authorisations and certificates relating to mineral and material extraction.
This gives DPIL a direct corporate interest in the underlying mining asset and its associated rights.
Working with local expertise.
DPIL has agreed a joint venture arrangement with local mine operators and technical experts in Brazil covering extraction and the associated revenue generated from the project.
The arrangement combines DPIL’s investment and development role with local mining expertise, practical extraction experience and knowledge of the Brazilian operating environment.
Our development strategy.
Our immediate objective is to move the project towards active mining operations. The development plan focuses on six priorities.
01 · Development funding
Secure the capital required to commence and develop the mining operation.
02 · Mining operations
Work with Brazilian partners and local specialists to establish extraction activities.
03 · Tourmaline
Prioritise the project’s principal gemstone opportunity.
04 · Additional resources
Assess sand, clay and granite as potential complementary revenue streams.
05 · Geological investigation
Investigate the potential presence and commercial viability of gold and rare earth minerals.
06 · Long-term operations
Develop an efficient, sustainable mining operation capable of generating long-term value.
