History

Brazil Iron and its Brazilian subsidiary were founded to produce and sell iron ore goods[2] such as lump, sinter feed and pellet feed. The company was formed after the acquisition of mining rights in Brazil between 2011 and 2017.

Operation

Brazil Iron currently has 3 tenements with a further 22 tenements currently being developed into exploration targets. The deposits contain more than 590 million tonnes of exploration targets of iron ore with geological potential for 2 billion tonnes, plus over 5 million tonnes of targets for manganese.

The company's operation is concentrated in the state of Bahia, with access to five highways, two railways (Ferrovia de Integração Oeste-Leste and Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica) and two ports (Porto de Aratu and Porto Sul, currently under construction) for outflow and foreign trade.

Brazil Iron is currently drilling the Mocó tenement, which has a capacity of 2 mtpa, already supplied trial shipments to Spain, Netherlands and China. Over 90% of the areas of geological potential are unexplored.

The company has already invested over US$ 100 million in its Brazilian operation and plans to invest another US$200 million until 2023.[3]
