UK construction companies are being invited to attend an event showcasing road building and other infrastructure development opportunities linked to a US$5billion mine project in Brazil.

The Pedra de Ferro Project Share Fair, supported by The UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) in association with The 5888 Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) and their local operating company in Brazil, 5889 Bamin, will seek to identify UK companies that can help begin production at a new 470.5 million tonne open iron ore mine in north-east Brazil by the end of 2015.

The UKTI has appointed the 3418 Construction Equipment Association (CEA) to help identify appropriate UK companies for the mine project. UK construction firms are also being sought to assist with new mine spin off infrastructure such as road building; rail development; a new port; offshore shipping terminal and container terminal; port materials and handling; a water pipeline; and a 3km conveyor system.

The top decision makers from all key aspects of the Pedra de Ferro project, which will create around 8,000 direct and indirect jobs, will be in attendance at the Share Fair event at the Henry Ford Centre in Loughborough on Wednesday 11 July, 2012.

Nick Ground, the CEA’s President, has recently returned from a very successful CEA run trade mission to Brazil. He said: “The recent trade mission confirmed that Brazil should be high on the list of any UK company wishing to expand through export.

“Visits, including those to mining company Bamin and contractor 1305 Odebrecht showed the huge potential in Brazil for all sectors not just for construction equipment. There is a great appetite for technology and efficiency and sustainability in an economy that is growing strongly even without the added demands of the World Cup and Olympics. Don't delay."
