In a similar 51%-49% joint venture with Bethlehem Steel, he has not only built one of the world's most successful manganese mining operations, but has managed to avoid the attacks that Brazilian nationalists have made on other foreign interests. By pushing iron-ore exports, Antunes expects Brazil in time to earn enough abroad to import coal, and so become one of the world's major producers of steel...
