en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Sebastião de Pádua Highway (also known as the "Mining Road") in Catalão, Brazil, was officially opened to traffic recently. The project, spanning 5 kilometers, began construction on July 23, 2025, and was jointly funded by the Catalão City Government, CMOC Brasil, and several other enterprises. The road connects communities, agricultural production areas, industrial parks, and the Catalão chemical plant, and is expected to improve logistics efficiency by 30% upon completion.

CMOC, headquartered in Luoyang, Henan Province, is a global leading producer of molybdenum, tungsten, copper, cobalt, and other metals, with large-scale niobium and phosphate operations in Brazil. CMOC Brasil is the operational entity of CMOC in Brazil, primarily engaged in niobium mining and phosphate fertilizer production. Catalão, located in Goiás State, Brazil, is a key operational base for CMOC Brasil. As a major thoroughfare with over 2,000 trucks passing daily, the road's completion will significantly improve heavy vehicle traffic conditions, reduce road dust pollution, and lower the risk of traffic accidents.

Catalão Mayor Velomar Rios stated at the opening ceremony that this road embodies decades of expectations from residents along the route and is a model of sincere cooperation between the city government and CMOC Brasil. Eduardo Lima, Deputy General Manager of CMOC Brasil, noted that the section had long been plagued by deteriorating road conditions, causing difficulties for all parties, and now it effectively facilitates daily travel for tens of thousands of residents. This cooperation goes beyond traditional charitable donations, marking an important milestone in CMOC Brasil's "localized operations" strategy. In recent years, CMOC Brasil's community projects have covered areas such as economic development, education and training, community health, infrastructure, and sustainable development.
