The Mining Leader Vale Informed That It Received the Installation License Granted by the State Secretary for Environment and Sustainability (Semas) on November 27, Last Friday, for the Resumption of Mining Activities at Its Units in Serra Leste, Pará, Located in the Municipality of Curionópolis

Vale’s operations have been suspended since January of last year, after it reached the limit for iron mining in the area in Pará, which had been licensed until then. Vale confirms this in a statement, and says that maintenance will be carried out in the coming weeks for a safe resumption of actions in December.

Serra Leste Region Has a High Production Capacity

Serra Leste, located in Pará, has a mining capacity of over 6 million metric tons annually (Mpta), and the expectation is to produce more than 4 Mpta in 2021, thus reaching full capacity in 2022.

The mining company Vale also has an expansion project for the plant in Pará, which aims for an adaptation and resumption of power, with capacity exceeding 10 Mpta. Vale says it plans to start the expansion project for the Serra Leste Mining Plant in Pará in the first half of 2023.

The results of Vale were released on October 28, ranking third among the 50 largest mining companies in the world, compiled by the Mining website, derived from various databases.

The mining company Vale, with an estimated worth of US$ 54 billion, is only behind Rio Tinto at US$ 109 billion, and the largest mining company in the world, BHP, at US$ 129 billion, which is a partner of Vale in Samarco, responsible for the tragedy in Brumadinho due to the dam break in Mariana in 2015.

Vale’s Progress in the Third Quarter of 2020

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Nasal spray developed in Texas surprises scientists by reducing brain inflammation and rekindles hope against Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The Supreme Court approved Ferrogrão by nine votes to one, the railway that had been stalled for five years and is expected to provide a shorter route for soybeans from Mato Grosso to flow towards the north of the country.

While rural areas in Namibia suffer from invasive bushes that destroy pastures, a project transforms the brush into edible mushrooms and biological blocks, creating housing and income for local communities affected by the housing deficit.

While tons of grape pomace are discarded in Brazilian wineries, researchers are transforming grape residues into bricks and adobe that reduce waste, improve thermal insulation, and pave the way for large-scale sustainable construction.

Used jeans are shredded and transformed into insulation blankets for walls and ceilings, rescuing millions of dollars of textile waste from landfills, increasing comfort in construction, and reducing heating and cooling costs.
