| A.
Numbers
The Brazilian market for mining equipment is one of the
largest in the world. Brazil is a major producer of several
minerals,
especially iron ore, gold, bauxite, kaolin, manganese, phosphate
rock and niobium, and is the fifth largest mineral producer
in the world. The mineral potential of the country has not been
fully assessed, and ongoing geological surveys may still find
significant
deposits. There are also many well-known deposits,
especially of copper and gold, that are not being currently
exploited, but that could be developed in the future if world
market
prices increase.
Most of the mining activities in Brazil are open pit. The local
market for underground mining equipment is relatively small
when compared to the market for open pit mining. In the long
term (three to seven years), however, there will be a trend to
increase the number of underground mines. The largest
installed mining operations are for iron ore, with total output
of
more than 200 million metric tons of processed ore in 2002.
CVRD, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, the largest Brazilian mining
company, is responsible for more than one-third of the mineral
output of this country, in terms of value. CVRD was privatized
in May 1997, and there are no longer any state-owned mining
operations in Brazil.
Outlook: The largest investments planned for the next three
years
in Brazil are three copper projects of CVRD, calling for a
combined
total investment of more tan $600 million. Expansion of the
existing
gold mines is the second most promising area for the near
future.
