We supply iron ore as a raw material for the production of portland cement.
Since 2005 we have worked continuously with national cement companies, providing the mineral for the production of cement in a timely manner.
- We are the only Uruguayan company that extracts iron ore.
- The deposits are located near the main roads, which greatly streamlines and economizes logistics processes.
- We work under strict safety regulations and with special attention to caring for the environment.
The company Novinco SA has, since 2005, the title of Concession to exploit iron ore in the deposit located in the department of Florida. It is an open-pit mining of a titanium iron deposit of magmatic origin, being the only one in our country that presents these characteristics. Fe₂O₃ values in coarse-grained facies reach values of 64%. An enrichment in V of the fine and thick facies is observed. Something similar happens with Co and S.
In this way, the mineral of interest appears strongly concentrated and with sufficient volume to constitute a deposit.
