Carajás Mountains - Carajás Family (English name) Serra dos Carajás
Located 550km southwest of the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil, this mountainous area is 500m above sea level. In 1967, iron ore (the world's largest reserves of approximately 17.4 billion tons) was discovered here, and the presence of non-ferrous metals such as manganese and bauxite has also been confirmed. It consists of mining areas such as N4E and N4W, and full-scale iron ore production began in 1986. As the main mine of the northern system of the state-owned company Rio Doce, which is scheduled to be privatized in 1997, the mine produced 43.2 million tons of iron ore in 1995. The mine is connected to the shipping port of Ponta de Madeira by a railway stretching approximately 900km.
