∙ 11y agoThe grand carajas is the plan us the largest iron ore mine in the worlds. It employs over 7,00 people. The ore is very rich in iron, containing 66% metal. The area is estimated to hold enough reserves to carry on mining for the next 40 years.
Most of the ore is taken the 690 kilometers from the mine to the port of Sao Luis on the Atlantic coast by rail where it is exported to countries such as Japan, Korea and Germany. The remainder is used in Brazilian steelworks. These provide finished steel for the home market. The project has aimed to restrict the deforestation of the rain forest and has only cut down trees on 1.6 per cent of the area it occupies. The Carajas mine depends on overseas markets to purchase much of its iron ore.
Long story short; it brings a lot of money into the Brazil for exportation. It is also beneficial to locals for employment's.

Was the Grand Carajas Project been a success?
yes by Danny evans In some respects yes but if you look at it in another way it drove natives out. BY matty JASPER No i do not believe it was a success as many Native Indians were killed as a result of 'imported' diseases such as measles and also lost their homes due to greedy people wanting money. Also the Grand Carajas programme built a railway through Gavioes Indian Reserve against their wishes, causing further dispute amongst the natives living there.
