"The Brasilians have told me they want to make not only a railway but also a port in Carare because they're very interested in our metallurgical coal ... the Chinese are also interested in our metallurgical coal," Santos said in a statement.
A Carare railway project would link central producers of metallurgical coal with coastal ports.
