Promoting Job Creation in Minas Gerais, the Company Celebrates
With the loan from CSN Mining, the company promises to invest in improvements in the mining industry and, primarily, the expansion of operations at the Casa de Pedra mine in the Minas Gerais region, with the expectation that new jobs will be generated.
The company also announced new investments for changes in its tailings filtration process to ensure the quality of iron ore supply for its Japanese clients.
CSN revealed its plans to increase iron ore capacity along with the announcement of an initial public offering of shares of CSN Mining on the Brazilian Stock Exchange, B3, in September 2020.
Like other iron ore mining companies, the company began using dry stacking filtration techniques for waste storage, instead of continuing to rely on dams after the government introduced stricter regulations in response to the tailings dam disaster in Brumadinho, at Vale’s Córrego do Feijão mine, in January 2019.
