MMX acquired the mining rights to the Bom Sucesso Unit in July 2008. The location, 40 km from the MRS railroad and about 350 km from the Sudeste Superport, offers a major differential in terms of operating costs. The company is carrying out geological surveys and environmental and engineering studies to quantify the investments needed with a view to starting operations.
The iron ore at Bom Sucesso has a high content of magnetite (approximately 30%), which represents noticeable cost savings for consumers, since it requires less energy consumption, ensuring the product’s great differential.
