ArcelorMittal continues its growth plan in Brazil and has now announced another round of multimillion-dollar investments in the national steel sector. Thus, the company will invest R$ 144 million in new equipment focused on the steel production infrastructure at the Sabará plant in the state of Minas Gerais. This is the fifth investment announcement made by the company for the region in recent months and will be essential for growth in the production of the raw material.

The company aims to increase its production capacity by up to 35% with the multimillion-dollar investment in the plant’s infrastructure and seeks to further modernize the site. In addition, ArcelorMittal’s investments in Brazil already total over R$ 7 billion.

Within the company’s total investment plan, which exceeds R$ 7 billion for the coming years, about R$ 4.5 billion is focused solely on expansion within the state of Minas Gerais. Regarding the Sabará plant, the company will focus on the steel production infrastructure and will acquire two new automated machines for wire drawing.

In this way, ArcelorMittal aims to expand its commercialization in the market for springs, shock absorbers, screws, fasteners, and other industrial products.

Thus, executive Jefferson De Paula, President of ArcelorMittal Brazil and CEO Long Steel and Mining LATAM, commented on the importance of the investment plan and stated that “The investment reinforces our position in the Brazilian market and enhances the company’s competitiveness in the automotive and manufacturing sectors. It is worth noting that nine out of the ten best-selling vehicles in Brazil use steel produced at the Sabará unit.”

Finally, the company emphasized that, in addition to ensuring more productivity, the infrastructure works to expand steel production will also allow for the generation of around 90 temporary jobs starting from the 2nd semester of 2022, thus boosting the entire economy of the state of Minas Gerais.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

What is the real importance of groundwater for Brazil and why has this invisible resource become essential for supply, the economy, and water security?

DARPA invests $46 million in powdered artificial blood that can be stored for years without refrigeration, does not require a blood type, and promises to transform care for severely injured individuals on the battlefield by allowing immediate transfusion anywhere.

Promise that affects the wallet: Brazilian general director of the largest hydroelectric plant in Brazil says that the tariff should drop in 2027.

The USA and Australia reach a billion-dollar agreement of $3.5 billion, focusing on the refining of strategic rare earth metals, nickel, gallium, graphite, magnesium, and tungsten to challenge China’s dominance in critical minerals.

Brazil exported tons of rare earth mining to Canada last week and is targeting the United States and China to sell critical minerals used in permanent magnets, electronics, electric vehicles, wind turbines, nuclear energy, and defense.

The government may create a state-owned company rival to Vale in Brazil to explore rare earths, which are highly sought after by the USA and China due to their significance in today’s global technology landscape.

The exploration of rare earths, lithium, copper, tin, and other critical minerals has surged in the last five years, encroaching on 278 indigenous lands, and the mining boom raises alarms in Brazil.

Under layers of ice that feed entire rivers, Argentina paves the way to explore copper, lithium, and gold in regions of extreme altitude and could unlock up to $165 billion in exports, placing one of the largest freshwater reserves in South America at the center of a new global mineral rush.
