The state of Minas Gerais, marked by two recent dam tragedies and a hub for mining operations, remains significant, especially for having a lower iron content, which when mixed with Carajás produces BRBF, sold in China.
Currently, Vale’s main objective is to replace production losses in the state of Minas after Brumadinho and to prevent new accidents. In December, a worker was killed in a landslide at the Córrego do Feijão mine. At the same time, if an agreement is not reached with the Minas Gerais state government, the company risks facing a multi-billion dollar sentence.

Carajás Complex
Located in the municipality of Canaã dos Carajás, in southeastern Pará, S11D is the largest mining complex in Vale’s history. It is an undertaking that fits the model of sustainable mining. The iron ore from Carajás with an iron content of up to 66% contributes to Vale’s business strategy of providing products that can help customers such as Chinese steel producers reduce carbon emissions.
Elmer Prata Salomão, a geologist and consultant, says that “Carajás is a fantastic deposit, which still has strong potential to be explored and an exceptional logistics already implemented. The mines in the Iron Quadrilateral will not be abandoned, but they are already mature.”
