III. Actions and Policies

of Lula's Government

for Small Scale Mining

20

Account for about 73% of mining companies.

Responsible for about 25% of the total amount of employment in the formal mineral activity. 

Dominates the production of:Shale, Sand, Gravel, Limestone, Gems, Gypsum,

Granite, Bentonite, Calcite, Diamond, Feldspar, Mica, Silex, Talc, Quartz, Cassiterite.

IMPORTANCE OF SMALL – SCALE MINING IN BRAZIL

21

Informality, hidering financial, technical and manangerial support;

Precarious mineral processing and treatment, not always providing

desiderable recovery;

The quality of the final production often does not meet the

requirements of the market, hidering the trade;

Often damage the health of workers and enviromental factors that

could be avoided or minimized.

Small – Scale Mining Problems

22

Insufficiency of geological information;

No utilization of available technologies ;

Labor worker without the necessary qualification;

Little knowledge of the market;

Low level of administrative structure.

Small – Scale Mining Problems
