Somerset, Omnipro partner to expand sustainable mining technologies in Brazil
Somerset International has formed a strategic partnership with Omnipro to deliver advanced sustainable mining solutions across Brazil's burgeoning mining sector. This collaboration is set to enhance the adoption of environmentally responsible technologies in one of the world's largest iron ore-producing countries. Somerset International business development executive vice-president Rodrigo Gouveia said: 'This partnership with Omnipro significantly strengthens our presence in Brazil and supports our broader expansion across Latin America. 'Their deep industry insight and strong local relationships position us to deliver even greater value to Brazilian mining companies committed to sustainable growth." The alliance between Somerset and Omnipro will facilitate the introduction of Somerset's patented tailings dewatering and mineral recovery systems in Brazil. Omnipro will leverage its local expertise to identify new business opportunities, provide market intelligence and connect with influential figures in the mining industry. Omnipro director Vittorio Capparelli said: 'We are very excited about this partnership with Somerset and have great confidence in the results we will achieve. 'It also represents a major step forward for our company in the way we present ourselves in the mining market, bringing innovative solutions to our customers.' Brazil's commitment to bolstering its mining sector is evident in the announcement of $815m (5.01bn reais) in financing for strategic mineral projects in January this year. This initiative, led by BNDES and Finep, aims to strengthen Brazil's position as a leading supplier of essential raw materials and develop high-value metal products. A total of 5bn reais has been earmarked to support companies through credit lines and equity investments. In line with these developments, Vale also initiated the Capanema Maximisation Project within its Mariana Operational Complex in Minas Gerais. Beginning in December 2024, the project is expected to increase Vale's iron ore production capacity by around 15 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). Targeting a production level of 340–360mtpa by 2026, the project will implement natural moisture processing methods, eliminating the need for water and tailings dams, and further contributing to the sustainable transformation of the mining sector in Brazil.

Somerset International Installs Six Tailings Dewatering Units at Warrior Met Coal's Blue Creek Mine, the Largest U.S. Coal Facility Without a Tailings Dam
PITTSBURGH, May 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Somerset International has completed the installation of six advanced Tailings Dewatering System (TDS) units at Warrior Met Coal's Blue Creek longwall mine in Alabama. The Blue Creek Plant is the largest coal preparation plant in North America constructed without a tailings storage dam. This milestone strengthens a longstanding partnership between Somerset and Warrior, a leading producer of high-quality metallurgical coal, and reflects both companies' shared commitment to innovative and sustainable tailings management. The Blue Creek deployment follows the successful operation of five Somerset units at Warrior's #7 Plant. Together, these eleven systems create one of North America's most advanced tailings dewatering networks. The Blue Creek TDS installation is engineered for rapid expansion as mine output increases, enabling future capacity growth within the existing structure. Somerset's patented TDS technology improves recovery, reduces moisture content, and blends dewatered fines with coarse refuse, eliminating the need for new tailings ponds while reducing water usage and environmental impact. With eleven TDS systems already operating and more expected as production ramps up, Somerset continues to play a strategic role in Warrior Met Coal's strategy to modernize coal processing and commitment to operational and environmental excellence. The Blue Creek installation underscores Somerset's role in advancing sustainable solutions across the U.S. metallurgical coal industry.
