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.

Vale’s Progress in the Third Quarter of 2020

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

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

The reign of carpets in the entrance hall has come to an end: aluminum mats emerge as a new trend that hardly gets dirty, lasts longer, and improves the hygiene of spaces.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.
