Meeting Between Representatives of Anglo American and the Government of Goiás Secures R$ 2.2 Billion Investment in Nickel Exploration in the State
The mining company Anglo American already has a strong presence in the state of Goiás through its nickel exploration plants in the region and now intends to expand this production. In this way, some representatives from Anglo American, the Government of Goiás, and the municipalities of Barro Alto and Niquelândia signed the letter of intent for the company’s investment plan in the state over the next 5 years.
After 40 years of operations in the state, Anglo American will make a total investment of R$ 2.2 billion over the next 5 years in the Goiás region.

The investments announced by Anglo American reinforce all the commitments of Governor Ronaldo Caiado to ensure the continuous growth of Goiás.”
