Background
Cerro Mine or Mina do Cerro is a coal mine near the city of Cachoeira do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.[2] Cerro Mine is owned by Sociedade Mineradora do Cerro Ltda, a subsidary of Copelmi Mineração LTDA.[2][3][4] Copelmi is Brazil’s largest private coal mining company, controlling more than 80% of the industrial coal market.[5]
Government reports show that coal production at the mine reached 423,662 tonnes per annum in 2005[4], but it has since declined. A 2019 industry report listed the Cerro mine as Copelmi's third most productive coal mine, with annual production of 100,000 tonnes.[6]
In June 2022, Brasil Mineral reported that the Cerro Mine had produced 225,200 tons of coal in the previous year (2021), and had a reported nameplate capacity of 500,000 tons.[7]
