Background Note
|
Batista grew up in Brazil and Germany. At the age of 21, he started a trading company dealing in gold. He invested the US$ 6 million he got from gold trading in a mining company. He modernized the mining company, and by 1983, it had become Brazil's first alluvial mechanized gold mine. Between 1980 and 2000, Batista earned US$ 1 billion and his investors reaped benefits amounting to US$ 20 billion.In six years, he founded five companies. The first company that Batista created in the EBX conglomerate was a mining company - MMX Mineração e Metalicos SA (MMX) – which was created as an iron ore integrated producer in 2005 with an investment of US$ 300 million. In 2007, a logistics subsidiary of MMX, LLX Logistica SA (LLX) was created. It was spun off as a separate entity in March 2007. This company was involved in the development of a large port, Açu Superport in northern Rio de Janeiro.
