Notes

A decade ago Venezuela was not even on the map of the world's ore-producing countries. By 1959, however, it was producing and exporting almost 15 million tons, and it possessed estimated reserves of 2 billion tons. Today Venezuela is Latin America's largest exporter of iron ore and, though its total estimated reserves are much smaller than those of Brazil, it is Venezuela, not Brazil, that holds the greatest promise as a future producer and exporter.
