The New Phase of Itaminas Is Marked by a Powerful Combination of Technological Innovation and Environmental Commitment, Driving Sustainability in Mining

The Itaminas is about to inaugurate a new era in its operations, with investments of R$ 1.5 billion by 2033. This investment focuses on the modernization of activities, increasing production, and delivering high-quality iron ore, essential for the decarbonization of the steel industry. The presentation of this new phase will take place at the “New Times” event, in Sarzedo (MG), on December 16, according to the brasilmineral website.

New Management and Sustainable Vision

Under the leadership of Thiago Toscano, the new management of Itaminas aims to align technological advancement with environmental responsibility, contributing to global decarbonization goals. Alongside the president are Argeu de Lima Géo Filho as Vice President of Operations and Rodrigo Medrado Géo as Vice President of Finance. These leaders aim to elevate the iron ore content from 62.5% to 67%, positioning Itaminas as a strategic partner in the European and Asian markets.

Integrity Program and Commitment to the Community

In addition to investments in infrastructure, Itaminas will present its Integrity Program, managed by the Compliance department, aimed at promoting ethics and compliance in all operations. This program reinforces the company’s commitment to the local community, allocating R$ 9 million for the expansion of public areas in Parque Cachoeira de Sarzedo and R$ 7.8 million for maintenance. With about 85% of its employees residing in Sarzedo, Itaminas stands out as an economic and social pillar in the region, generating over 700 direct jobs and nearly 2,000 indirect jobs.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

Brazil’s new cheapest car is priced at R$ 67 thousand: with a 75 hp 1.0 Firefly engine, fuel consumption of up to 15.1 km/l, the Mobi surpasses Onix, Argo, Kwid, and others to become the lowest-priced new car in the country in April 2026.

28% of patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest report consciousness during the period they were clinically dead, and the AWARE II study detects brain activity for up to 60 minutes, suggesting that the mind may persist beyond what medicine considers possible.

China calls Brazil a strategic partner in space and highlights the CBERS satellite that monitors deforestation in the Amazon, cooperation with dozens of countries, the use of advanced data, and projects on the Tiangong station.
