From BNA:
Brazilian mining giant Vale shipped 719,885t of iron ore from its flagship US$14.3bn S11D Carajás mine in Pará state in January-February.
The figure includes 264,400t in January, when the mine shipped its first exports.
Of the total invested in S11D, US$6.4bn was spent on the mine and plant and US$7.9bn on a 101km railroad and an expansion of the Carajás railroad and the Ponta da Madeira port terminal in São Luís, Maranhão state.
That figures should rise to 2mt per month as we enter Q2.
