We hold projects at various stages of the mining lifecycle—from greenfield development through to full-scale operations—and employ over 2,100 professionals nationwide, all committed to our purpose. Currently, we operate three iron ore mines in Minas Gerais: Baratinha and Mongais Mines, part of the Baratinha Complex, and Pedra Branca Mine. Our first iron ore operation, Baratinha Mine in the Steel Valley, began operations in 2014 and features a wet beneficiation plant with an annual capacity of 2.5 million tons. In 2024, the Mongais project entered operation with a dry processing capacity of 1.5 million tons per year, increasing the total Baratinha Complex capacity to 4.0 million tons per year. In João Monlevade and Itabira (MG), the Pedra Branca project commenced operations in Q3 2025\. The project holds 130 million tons of resources, including 33 million tons of high-grade material, and is expected to reach full capacity production of 2.0 million tons per year using dry processing only. Additionally, Bemisa operates a pilot-scale gold project in Água Azul do Norte, Pará, near the Carajás polymetallic district. Developed from the greenfield stage, this project does not use tailings dams for waste disposal and employs predominantly local workers. We believe in the potential of Brazil’s mining industry and are committed to integrating sustainability into our operations, generating socioeconomic development in every region where we operate.
