Description of production process | As a pioneer in the use of technologies that result in the possibility of stacking the tailings generated in the iron ore production process, the Company has had its iron ore production since January 2020, 100% independent of tailings dams. After significant investments in recent years to raise the level of reliability, mischaracterization and dry stacking, the Company has moved on to a scenario in which 100% of its waste goes through a dry filtration process and is disposed of in geotechnically controlled batteries, areas exclusively destined for stacking.
