LHG Mining has one of the greatest expansion potentials in the global mining industry. At the Urucum and Santa Cruz mines, located in Corumbá and Ladário, respectively, in Mato Grosso do Sul, the company explores one of the largest reserves of high-grade iron ore – featuring iron content above 65% and low contaminants levels – as well as manganese.

It’s annual production of 12 million tons is transported through an integrated logistics system that includes the Gregório Curvo port (MS), a maritime terminal in Nueva Palmira and oceanic transshipment operation in Uruguay, as well as terminals dedicated to supplying the domestic market.

Owing to the unique and intrinsic characteristics of the reserves, the mining and processing stages generate virtually no losses (waste material) and 80% of iron ore production is processed using dry methods – requiring less water, producing no tailings and eliminating the need for dams.

With sustainable operations that respects the environment, minimize impacts and optimize resources use, LHG provide a unique and reliable solution for the steel production chain.
