driving the development and growth of the aggregate segment. The Brazilian mining industry is adopting innovative methods to withstand the increasing competition in the mining sector. The mining market is experiencing an increased number of private labels. The leading vendors in the Brazilian mining market are Vale S.A., MMX Group EBX, Votorantim Metals, Alumar Consortium and MRN. Other leading vendors are Anglo American, AngloGold Ashant, and ArcelorMittal. Brazil is ranked third after Australia and Russia in the iron ore reserves within the country. Brazil has high-grade reserves in the state of Para and most of the country’s operational mines are located in Minas Gerais. Brazil ranked second globally after Australia in iron ore production with the expansion of existing mines and the upcoming projects in the country. Vale SA’s Apolo Mine in Minas Gerais, the Pedra de Ferro Project of Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation Plc in Bahia, Vale SA’s Serra Leste Project in Para, Honbridge Holdings Ltd’s SAM Iron Ore Project in Rio Grande do Sul, and the Jambreiro Project in Minas Gerais are the projects due to commence over the coming years. Almost all the iron ore mined in Brazil is exported to China, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, Germany, France, and Oman. However, the Brazilian iron ore industry is dominated by Vale SA which is the world’s largest producer of iron ore in Brazil. Future Of Brazilian Mining Sector: It is estimated that Brazil's iron ore production growth will remain strong in the coming years with low operating costs and solid projects in the pipeline. Other foreign and domestic firms will continue advancing Brazilian’s 14 iron ore projects in the near future. It was observed that Brazil in undergoing a major change in terms of economic and infrastructure development in the recent years.

It was observed that the Brazilian mining industry will witness a steady growth over the next few years.
