Minas-Rio is a surface iron ore mine owned and operated by Anglo American located in the northeast corner of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) region of Minas Gerais state, near the city of Conceição do Mato Dentro. The Minas-Rio deposit is very large, with current run-of-mine (ROM) reserves totalling over 2.5 billion tonnes at 33.5% Fe. The operation produces a sole 67%-Fe pellet feed product, which is entirely sold into the seaborne export market. Production at Minas-Rio commenced in 2014 and, in 2023, achieved its highest annual production results. We expect the mine to sustain a run rate close to its nameplate capacity from 2027 onwards. On 22 February 2024, Anglo announced to acquire the contiguous 4.3-Bt Serpentina iron ore resource from Vale. If the Brazilian regulator approves, Vale will also have an important stake in this asset.
