Report summary
Serra Azul is a surface iron ore mine located in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) region of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. It is 100% owned by Mineração Morro do Ipê (MMI), a company jointly-owned by Trafigura, Mubadala and a group of investors. Serra Azul is comprised of two deposits: Ipê and Tico-Tico. Since 2017, the operation has produced a 65%-Fe concentrate product from stockpiled ore from the Ipê deposit. MMI is working towards revamping current facilities at Serra Azul, allowing the operation to produce up to 6 Mtpa of concentrate from the Tico-Tico deposit. Despite challenging legal and regulatory conditions in Minas Gerais post-Brumadinho, the Tico-Tico plant came online by 2023.
