With the lessons learned, we make the necessary changes to write a new history and rebuild trust based relationships with society. We resumed our operations in a different way, with new technologies and more safety, seeking to always generate lasting value for the territories where we operate.
Since the approval of the Corrective Operation License (LOC), in October 2019, we have had all the environmental licenses required to resume our activities. However, we chose to wait until the implementation of the filtration system, completed in December 2020, which allows the dry stacking of 80% of the tailings generated. The remainder will be disposed of in a confined pit, which allows for natural and safer containment.
Our operational resumption is being gradual, initially at 26% of production capacity, with the reactivation of one of the three concentrators in the Germano Complex, in Mariana (MG), of one of the four pellet plants at the Ubu unit, in Anchieta ( ES), and operation of one of the pipelines.We remain committed to seeking solutions that introduce innovations and improvements in our projects and operations, that strengthen the industry and contribute to a different and more sustainable mining.
