Horizonte Minerals has been intensely focusing on its new mining venture in the state of Pará, the Araguaia Project. Located in Conceição do Araguaia with a focus on nickel production and exploration, a strong mineral for the international market in the coming years.

The Araguaia Project is not only the largest in Brazil in terms of investments made. It will also guarantee Horizonte Minerals a significant increase in nickel mining in the Pará territory. This is because the company’s forecast is that the plant will produce up to 14,500 tons per year of nickel in its first phase.

With the potential for expansion to double this volume, reaching almost 30,000 tons per year of nickel, a significant number for the national mining market. The development of the Araguaia Project began in early 2022, and the forecast is that the works will be completed in two years, provided that the schedule proceeds as planned by the company.

Moreover, the nickel mining project has a lifespan of 28 years. And it will be responsible for a significant leap for Horizonte Minerals in the Brazilian market. The company already announced last year a financing package of US$ 633 million to implement the venture.

Horizonte Minerals is a national reference in the nickel mining market. It currently has two ventures in the state of Pará, the Araguaia Project and the Vermelho Project, large-scale, high-grade nickel and low carbon emission, aiming for even greater investments in the national mineral sector.
