“…In 1910, during the XI Congress of Geology held in Stockholm, the head of the BGMS, Orville Derby, presented a study. Its title was "The iron ores of Brazil," which contained the data collected by Gonzaga de Campos (DERBY, 2010;SILVA, 2010;FISCHER, 2013). Fischer (2013, p. 9) argues that the iron ore deposits in MG "fascinated scientists, investors and politicians for many years."…”

Focusing on the charcoal-fired steel industry in the Doce River Valley (rural eastern Brazil), this article sets out to understand the relationship between industrial-scale mining and the transition from iron factories to large steel mills. At the same time, it addresses the further destruction of the Atlantic Forest. Studies on the steel industry that highlight the pressure exerted on the Atlantic Forest by charcoal plants are almost nonexistent, however. Turning to technical reports, official statistics, journals, and other media sources and centering attention on Belgo-Mineira company, it highlights a set of data that enables us to measure the impacts of the charcoal-fired steel industry on forests. In order to get a deep insight, the main aim was to estimate the amount of forest extraction to serve the steel industry from 1936 to 1954. The data from this research show that the charcoal-fired steel industry gave a distinctive cast to the phenomenon of the agricultural frontier.

Resumo Com foco na indústria siderúrgica a carvão vegetal no Vale do Rio Doce (leste de Minas Gerais), o artigo propõe compreender a relação entre as grandes siderúrgicas e a devastação da Mata Atlântica. Estudos sobre a indústria siderúrgica que destacam a pressão exercida sobre a Mata Atlântica pelas carvoarias são quase inexistentes. Nesse sentido, recorrendo a relatórios técnicos, estatísticas oficiais, periódicos e outras fontes de mídia e centrando à atenção na empresa Belgo-Mineira, destaca-se um conjunto de dados que nos permite mensurar os impactos da indústria siderúrgica a carvão vegetal sobre a floresta. O resultado principal são as estimativas de extração florestal para servir a indústria siderúrgica entre 1936 e 1954. Os dados desta pesquisa mostram que a indústria siderúrgica a carvão vegetal deu um aspecto distinto ao fenômeno da fronteira em razão da centralidade do carvão.
