La minería es la principal fuente de generación económica de Araxá. La Bunge Fertilizantes, produce fosfato mineral junto con el niobio, que es operado principalmente por CBMM, generan gran parte de la economía de Araxá.
1 de feb. de 2024 · The main minerals of the Araxá complex rocks are pyrochlore, apatite, carbonate, magnetite, ilmenite, and phlogopite. Approximately 75% of global niobium production comes from pyrochlore mined in the Araxá alkali-carbonatite complex. Araxá also produces significant amounts of apatite for phosphate production.
The primary mineral from which niobium is obtained is known as pyrochlore. The world's largest deposit is located in Araxa, Brazil and is owned by Companhia Brasileira de Metalurgia e Mineracao (CBMM). The reserves are enough to supply current world demand for about 500 years, about 460 million tonnes.
