About the Amapa Project
The Amapá Iron Ore Project is a fully integrated operation in Brazil, comprising established mine, rail, port, and beneficiation infrastructure. It hosts a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource of 276 million tonnes at 38% Fe and a Proven and Probable Ore Reserve of 195.8 million tonnes at 39.34% Fe. In December 2024, an updated Pre-Feasibility Study confirmed the Project's ability to produce a 67.5% Fe direct reduction (DR) grade concentrate at a rate of 5.5 Mtpa. The revised flowsheet and mine plan resulted in a post-tax NPV (10%) of US$1.97 billion over a 15-year mine life, with pre-production capital investment of US$377 million. In August 2025 The Amapá Iron Ore Project reduced its C1 cash costs to US$27.28/dmt FOB Santana and US$55.46/dmt CFR China. Installation licence applications have been submitted, and once granted, will allow, subject to financing, the recommissioning of the Project.
