Potentially the world's largest iron-ore company, M.B.R. plans to build a $60 million deep-water pier, an ore yard, a railroad link (and perhaps a pelletizing plant) on Sepetiba Bay, 60 miles south of the traffic-clogged port of Rio de Janeiro; it expects to step up exports from 2,000,000 to 10 million tons a year by 1970. The deal, said Antunes last week...
