The Mining Company Will Invest in the Verticalization of Manganese Production to Make the State of Pará the Largest Producer of Inputs for Agriculture

Mineral Resources of Brazil (RMB) will invest in the verticalization of manganese production to make the state the largest producer of inputs for agriculture. The venture will generate around 500 direct jobs and more than 2,000 indirect jobs in the region of Marabá, Eldorado do Carajás, Curionópolis, and Parauapebas, in the state of Pará.

Feasibility of the Manganese Project

The decisive step for the implementation of the venture was the signing of a Commitment Term between the mining company and the Secretary of Environment and Sustainability of the state of Pará (Semas), which granted preliminary and operating licenses that certify the environmental viability of the mineral research with experimental mining.

The mining company has committed to delivering Environmental Impact Studies (EIA/RIMA) within eighteen months to define the area of influence of the project. The studies will also establish compensation and mitigation mechanisms due to the implementation of the venture, according to current legislation.

With the environmental licensing underway, the mining company estimates obtaining the mining decree in the next two years. This will allow for an investment of US$ 50 million for the establishment of the mine, processing plant, and construction of factories to add value to the mineral extracted in the state, generating approximately 500 direct jobs and another 2,000 indirect jobs in the southeastern region of Pará.

Investments by the Mining Company

In its strategic plan, the mining company aims to establish itself as one of the leading companies in the manganese segment in the country. To achieve this, it outlined an ambitious strategy to develop new manganese-based products, such as sulfate, hydroxide, and manganese carbonate, to serve the agricultural sector, which depends on the importation of inputs; in addition to concentrated briquettes with 45% manganese intended for the steel sector.

 “Our commitment is to implement the venture responsibly, promoting harmony with the environment and communities surrounding the project, always with a view towards sustainability, as we are convinced of the development potential that a venture of this size can offer to the region,” says Samuel Borges, CEO of the RMB Group.

Borges emphasizes that the mining company has heavily invested in new technologies to develop equipment and new manganese mineral products. According to him, one of the factors that weighed in the decision to verticalize manganese production in Pará was its strong connection to the state.
