The arrival of the mining company MPP in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul will ensure the expansion of mining with sustainability and the company intends to export more than 500 thousand tons of iron ore during the year 2022 alone.
After the entry of Mineração Pirâmide Participações (MPP) in mining in the state, the state of Mato Grosso do Sul has excellent prospects for segment expansion for this Tuesday, (07/06). This is because the mining company guarantees that it will export more than 500 thousand tons of iron ore during 2022 alone and that it will focus on expanding production with sustainability in the region.
Mato Grosso do Sul will be able to export more than 500 thousand tons of iron ore in 2022 alone with the arrival of the mining company MPP in the region
Still in a growth climate after the sale of the assets of the Vale subsidiary in Corumbá to J&F Investimentos Ltda, the state of Mato Grosso do Sul is now preparing for the arrival of yet another mining company. This is MPP, which arrived in the state with a focus on exporting iron ore and intends to bring great results to the region throughout 2022, with prospects of exporting more than 500 thousand tons of ore this year alone.
Built more than 15 years ago, the mining company is now undergoing a new phase of developments and focuses on the exploitation of iron ore in the region of the mineral reserves of Morro do Rabicho, in Ladário, a city neighboring Corumbá.
Now, MPP is disputing with other mining companies in the region the fiscal incentives of the state government, but it is still being analyzed by Semagro (Secretary of Environment, Economic Development, Production and Family Agriculture), which is studying the benefits of the company in the state.
Thus, the secretary of Semagro, Jaime Verruck, commented on the relevance of iron ore reserves in the region, which will be explored by MPP: “the deposits of Maciço do Urucum, the third largest iron reserve and the first of manganese in Brazil, with high ore content, mean that these minerals from Mato Grosso do Sul have an important participation in a regional and international market, with the participation of Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and now with this new market that is Europe”.
Company seeks to focus on exporting iron ore with practices linked to sustainability to ensure greater environmental commitment in mining
The entire export chain of iron ore produced by MPP to Europe is being carried out through the port of Granel Química, in Ladário, where shipments are being accelerated to take advantage of the navigable level of the Paraguay River, which has excellent rates until September.
In addition, the company disclosed that it has good growth prospects, since it is exploring a mine with a high mineral production volume (65%) and quality for a few decades (between 20 and 25 years).
In addition to the focus on production and export of the product, executive Patrick Paneco, CEO and one of the company's new partners, highlighted that the company is also committed to sustainability in production. This is because the raw material waste is not deposited conventionally in dams and ends up being destined for other uses. In this way, the MPP avoids the overflow of waste and still manages to give a new destination for what would become garbage.
Finally, Samargo pointed out that analyzes for tax incentives are still being carried out and that the executive secretary of the MS Mineral Program at the secretariat, Eduardo Pereira, was in Ladário to visit and inspect the entire iron ore export process.
