Itabira

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Itabira 

a city in Brazil, in the state of Minas Gerais. Population, 56,000 (1970). Itabira has a railroad station.

Itabira is the chief town in an area of major iron-ore deposits. Aggregate ore reserves are estimated at 30 billion tons, half of which contain more than 60 percent iron. Mining, with an annual output of up to 25 million tons of iron ore, is controlled by a state company, Companahia Vale do Rio Doce. In 1967 ore mining was begun by a consortium, CAEMI; the consortium includes the national Azevedo Antunes group, with 51 percent of the stock, and the Hanna Corporation of the USA. The ore is exported (28 million tons in 1970) through the ports of Vitória, Tubarão, and Sepetiba. Itabira has a special-steels plant.

And as movements of mentalities precede the expressions of other social formations, it is easy to see the same tendency for freedom and the achievement of self-expression, both in the establishment of free verse before 1930 and in the 'march to the West' after 1930; both in 'Bagaceira', in 'O Estrangeiro', in the 'Negra Fulo' prior to 1930, and in the case of the Itabira Co.
One of the agreements signed on March 3, 1942, provided that the Brazilian government would increase the output of the Itabira iron ore mines in the state of Minas Gerais and would deliver the ore over the Vitoria-Minas Railway to the port of Vitoria in the state of Espirito Santo.
The machine opens itself and it is 'majestosa e circumspecta': Abriu-se majestosa e circumspecta, sem emitir um som que fosse impuro nem um clarao maior que o toler[sz]vel (23) The poet when confronted is walking on a stony, cobbled road somewhere in Minas Gerais, a state which could be said to be characteristically stony (and of course Carlos Drummond de Andrade was born in Itabira, Minas Gerais).
