Marimaca Copper options Chile project to create potential synergies with oxide deposit
The Pampa Medina project consists of 4 mining concessions near the planned processing site of the Marimaca oxide deposit.
Brazilian miner Vale on Tuesday swapped out its head of iron ore solutions, the first major change in leadership since CEO Gustavo Pimenta started in his role earlier this month.
Vale’s current director of product and business development, Rogerio Nogueira, will take over the role on an interim basis starting Wednesday through the end of the year, the miner said in a securities filing.
He’ll replace Marcelo Spinelli, Vale said, without providing a reason for Spinelli’s departure.
A source familiar with the matter said Spinelli’s exit, not just from the post but from the company, was decided by Pimenta himself.
Pimenta believes Vale – one of the world’s largest iron ore producers – needs to shake up its commercial division in order to build stronger relationships with clients, the source added.
