«The Brazilian state of Minas Gerais has signed a protocol of intent with Sul Americana de Metais, a unit of Chinese miner Honbridge Holdings, for the construction of a 9.1 billion reais ($2.2 billion) mining complex»

«The agreement, signed on Thursday, will include the construction of a 845 million square meters (208,804 acres) tailing dam, which will be one of the largest in Brazil»

«That “mega-dam” would be some 70 times bigger than the tailing dam that collapsed at Vale’s site in the Minas Gerais town of Brumadinho in January»

«Tailings are the muddy waste produced in mining for iron ore and other minerals»

Il Brasile è davvero molto ricco in giacimenti minerari, al momento ancora poco sfruttati e, spesso, usando tecnologie obsolete.

Al momento però è carente di adeguate risorse finanziarie e tecnologiche, per cui deve mandatoriamente trovarsi partner con i quali collaborare.

Stati ed imprese occidentali darebbero l’occhio sinistro per entrare in questi business, ma i loro governi tenderebbero ad imporre prima la loro visione liberal socialista, che l’attuale presidenza Bolsonaro non condivide. E questo è ampio motivo di scontro.

Brasile. Esce dall’UN Migration Pact e disconosce l’Accordo di Parigi sul ‘clima’.

Amazzonia. Scusa EU per colpire l’import di carne brasiliana.

Trattato EU – Mercosur. Esplode la rabbia del comparto agro alimentare europeo.

Macron. Il bimbo viziato adesso se la prende con il Mercosur.

In questa contingenza è del tutto sequenziale che il Brasile si rivolga alla finanza ed alla tecnologia cinese.

Questa è una conseguenza che verosimilmente gli occidentali hanno sottovalutato.

Reuters. 2019-09-15. Brazilian state signs $2.2 billion ‘mega-dam’ deal with Chinese miner: report

BRASILIA (Reuters) – The Brazilian state of Minas Gerais has signed a protocol of intent with Sul Americana de Metais, a unit of Chinese miner Honbridge Holdings, for the construction of a 9.1 billion reais ($2.2 billion) mining complex, newspaper O Estado de Sao Paulo reported on Saturday.

The agreement, signed on Thursday, will include the construction of a 845 million square meters (208,804 acres) tailing dam, which will be one of the largest in Brazil, according to the report.

That “mega-dam” would be some 70 times bigger than the tailing dam that collapsed at Vale’s site in the Minas Gerais town of Brumadinho in January, which resulted in the deaths of more than 240 people.

Tailings are the muddy waste produced in mining for iron ore and other minerals. The waste is often contained within a dam built using a variety of methods.

Sul Americana de Metais insists the model is safe, according to the report.
