Vale Received License to Start Working on Capanema Transport Project Near Its Timbopeba Mine in Minas Gerais

The mining company Vale has made an estimated investment of $495 million to put the transport project in Minas Gerais into operation. The mining company also stated earlier this Monday that the Capanema project, located in the municipalities of Santa Bárbara, Ouro Preto, and Itabirito, in Minas Gerais, will add a net capacity of 14 million tons per year to the Timbopeba mine.

“The start of the works on the Capanema transport project in Minas Gerais marks another important step in creating buffers for production capacity, ensuring greater operational flexibility with low capital intensity,” said Vale’s CFO Luciano Siani Pires in a press release.

Mass Investments for Mining Industry

The Vale project includes investments in the Capanema mine and transportation in Minas Gerais for the resumption of operations, acquisition of new equipment, implementation of a long-distance conveyor belt, and adjustment of the storage yards at Timbopeba, the company reported.

Vale also reduced its production guidance for 2020 again in December, from 310-330Mt revised to 300-305Mt. Transport and iron ore prices continued to rise amid new supply concerns, with tensions between Australia and China flaring up and Vale reporting that a worker was killed in a landslide at its Corrego do Feijão mine near Brumadinho on Friday.

Vale Intends Not to Use Water in Its Processes, Not Generating Wastes, Which Avoids the Need for Dams.

Vale is using dry processing in several units, including Brucutu, Alegria, Fábrica Nova, Fazendão, Abóboras, Mutuca, Pica, and Fábricas in Minas Gerais, with plans for implementation in other locations, including the Apolo and Capanema projects.

Vale is committed to transforming natural resources into prosperity and sustainable development. With start-up planned for the second half of 2023, the project will have a production capacity from natural moisture (without waste generation) of 18 Mtpa and in the first years will bring a net addition of 14 Mtpa of capacity for Vale with shipping from the Timbopeba site.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

Explorers find Roman treasure trapped between rocks on the seabed for nearly 1,600 years and reveal a desperate attempt to hide 53 gold coins during the invasions of the Empire.

While Russia dominates the global wheat market, Brazil emerges as an unexpected competitor in the Cerrado, offering grain available in July and August when stocks in the Northern Hemisphere are at their lowest point of the year.

Archaeologists discover Roman vase buried for over 2,000 years with more than 175 intact gold and silver coins, revealing a desperate strategy to protect wealth during the collapse of the Empire.

The government puts R$ 8.6 billion on the table to change the highway (BR) with 50 overpasses, 28 bridges, 4 tunnels, and 40 km of bike lanes in 180 km of historic duplication.

With 241 meters, 48 thousand tons, and a structure designed to accompany aircraft carriers at sea, the Chinese ship that refuels fleets in motion was born to push Beijing away from the coast and has become the hidden gear of its naval projection.

‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.

Espírito Santo will receive the largest engineering project in its history with the duplication of BR 262, which will have 50 viaducts, 28 bridges, and 2-kilometer tunnels cutting through the most challenging mountainous region of the entire state.

A project of nearly 9 million reais already has the first kilometer paved in Santa Catarina and promises to completely transform the access between Jaraguá do Sul and Rio dos Cedros in an area where tourism is growing at a rapid pace.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.
