A mineradora Vale chegou a um acordo definitivo para adquirir a Ferrous Resources Limited por US$ 550 milhões, informou a empresa em comunicado nesta quinta-feira. A Ferrous possui e opera minas de minério de ferro localizadas em proximidade às operações da Vale na região do Quadrilátero Ferrífero, em Minas Gerais.

O presidente da Vale, Fabio Schvartsman, afirmou que a compra da Ferrous é exatamente o que a mineradora procura quando fala de "aquisição sinérgica". Schvartsman participa, neste momento, do Vale Day, encontro de investidores da empresa na Bolsa de Valores de Londres.

Segundo o executivo, a Ferrous adicionará quatro milhões de toneladas anuais de "pellet feed" de alta qualidade à produção da Vale. O "pellet feed" é matéria-prima para a produção de pelotas, mas que também é vendido separadamente no mercado como um produto de qualidade.
