Developing and managing an exploration program for critical minerals.

Business Development and economic evaluation for iron ore mining projects and development areas. Our team is accountable for coordinating technical Due Diligences, M&A processes, target selection and acquisition. We support Vale's Strategic Planning studies and market analysis/player monitoring for iron ore. Current activities include analysis for farm-out opportunities and early-stage projects/mineral rights evaluation. Also accountable for economic modelling for iron ore blending initiatives.
