Global leaders in the decarbonization of the steel industry.
Brazil Iron has established a Board of Directors and a high-caliber management team. Both possess substantial experience in the exploration, development, financing, and mining of iron ore deposits around the world.
The team is well-qualified to develop the vast potential of our project.
The general guidelines and policies that govern our business are established by the Board of Directors, which monitors the implementation of these initiatives through reports from the executive teams. The Board also receives advice from technical and consulting teams.
The global population has reached 8 billion, and the number of people living in cities will increase from 4 billion to 6 billion by 2045. This will result in a proportional increase in the use of iron and steel. At Brazil Iron, we are committed to delivering these materials while adhering to our purpose and values as an organization.
