Calcário Botuverá

What Calcário Botuverá does

Calcário Botuverá, operating under the legal entity MINERAÇÃO RIO DO OURO LTDA, is a Brazilian mining company founded on May 16, 1984, and headquartered in Botuverá, Santa Catarina. The company manufactures and distributes dolomitic and calcitic limestone, positioning itself as the principal producer of these materials in Santa Catarina. Its operations span extraction from own quarries in Santa Catarina and Paraná through processing, delivery, and on-farm application services across three Brazilian states.

The product portfolio is organized across four verticals: agricultural limestone (Calcitic Limestone, Dolomitic Limestone, Filler Dolomítico e Calcítico, and Lama de Cal) for soil acidity correction and calcium/magnesium plant nutrition; industrial Calcíta powder for ceramics, animal feed, and concrete manufacturing; construction aggregates (Brita 0/1/2, Brita Graduada, Bica Corrida, Macadame Britado, Pedrisco, Pó de Pedra, Rachão) for civil engineering applications; and lime products (Cal Hidratada CH III, Cal de Pintura, Cal Virgem) for construction, soil correction, and pest control. The company also offers professional services including mobile crusher rental with drilling and blasting capability, on-site variable-rate limestone application using precision agriculture equipment, and road freight transport via its own vehicle fleet. Two MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply) registrations cover its agricultural product lines, and RIMA environmental impact reports cover its mining operations, including an approved expansion at the Ribeirão do Ouro Mine.

The company operates a vertically integrated, sales-led business model targeting agriculture (primary segment), construction, and industrial/manufacturing customers across Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (limestone, aggregates, lime, fillers) and professional services (mobile crushing, transport, application). Distribution is handled primarily through the company's own fleet across seven locations, with customer acquisition driven by WhatsApp, phone, and digital channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, website). The company maintains affiliated entities NB Minerais and Rei da Cal, holds renewable energy certificates for 2022–2024, and operates with 101–250 employees as a privately held, family-controlled regional mining business.
