Visão geral da empresa Mineração Rio do Norte
Mineração e extraçãoIndústria
Mineração Rio do Norte (MRN) mines its own business. The Brazilian company extracts, processes, and sells bauxite ore, the raw material from which aluminum is made. The company also transports the product by rail, using its own railway and trains, and loads it onto ships for transport at its terminal. Founded in 1974, MRN operates three mines in Brazil's Amazon region. MRN produces more than 18 million tons of bauxite annually and controls about 200 million tons of reserves, making it one of the largest bauxite miners in the world. Companhia Vale do Rio Doce controls nearly half of MRN. A small group of other companies, including Rio Tinto Alcan, Alcoa, and BHP Billiton, owns the rest.
