Green Iron Project

Sustainably developing Brazil's new iron ore cradle.

Project Overview

Brazil Iron aims to be a global leader in the decarbonization of the steel industry.

Brazil Iron is developing an integrated pellet feed, pellet, and HBI operation, using 100% renewable energy and green hydrogen, with the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions.

More than 10 years of work and commitment to delivering a world-class sustainable project that will responsibly provide the metals the world needs.

67.5% Fe

High-quality direct reduction pellet feed concentrate with low impurities and minimal acid gangue.

1.70Billion tons

NI43-101 resource of 1.70 bt.
Target of 3 bt (drilling in progress).

Best location on Earth for Green Iron

Bahia is blessed by nature.

High-quality iron ore resources, 100% renewable energy and existing logistics solutions.

1. Iron Ore Resources

Internationally important iron ore resource. 1.70 billion tonnes resource (NI43-101 claim) > 3bt Target

2. Wind Energy

Offshore wind speeds on land. The world's best onshore location for wind power. 8GW of generation capacity just a few kilometers from our project.

3. Solar Energy

Large solar generation capacity is being installed in central Bahia. The combination of solar and wind power generation provides a robust and reliable source of renewable energy.

4. Hydroelectric power plant

Hydroelectric generation plays a significant role in Brazil's national grid. Within the state of Bahia, there are two hydroelectric facilities in the São Francisco River basin.

5. Logistics

All Saints Bay is the largest natural harbor in Latin America, with several existing port facilities. The state is also served by two railways: FCA and FIOL (under construction). Brazil Iron has already completed 10 direct-shipment ore (DSO) shipments to customers in Europe and Asia.

All processes powered by renewable electricity and green hydrogen

Brazil Iron aims to become the first integrated producer of green pellet feed, pellets, and HBI with net-zero carbon emissions. The project will produce 10mtpa of green pellet feed, 7mtpa of pellets, and 5mtpa of direct reduction iron in HBI form.

We are uniquely positioned in the heart of Bahia state, where world-class iron ore resources are found within an established and growing network of renewable energy generation projects. Our operations will become a benchmark, revolutionizing the iron and steel industry.

Why our project?

Direct reduction grade products with net-zero carbon emissions

The natural ingredients of wind, sun, water, and high-quality iron ore allow us to produce high-grade direct reduction products with net-zero carbon emissions. Over 8 GW of renewable generation capacity is being installed within 50 km of our project. This low-cost renewable energy will be used to produce green hydrogen through electrolysis. Green hydrogen and renewable electricity will power everything we do.

Largest foreign investor in mineral exploration in Brazil:

we contributed 63% of exploration investment in Bahia in 2021.

Feasibility study

Brazil Iron is currently completing a Feasibility Study based on the following project configuration: 8 mtpa green direct reduction pellet feed, 7 mtpa green.

CO2 emissions

Our goal is to be a global leader in decarbonizing the steel industry and to be uniquely positioned to develop a net-zero CO2 operation, with all processes and logistics in place.

Directors and Management

Our team has extensive experience in the exploration, development, financing and mining of iron ore deposits worldwide.
