Mineral Development Strategies
improving geological and airbone geophysical
knowledge
Enlarging and diversifying mineral production
Adding value to mineral goods
Stimulating investments in infrastructure
Developing the Brazilian equipment industry and
services
BASIS FOR THE MINERAL POLICY
New Geological Data: Geological Mapping and
Airbone Geophysical Survey
Locate new potential areas for mineral
exploration and reduce investment risks
Modernize and Strength the Mining Bureau
Efficiency, Safety and Transparency in the
Mining Concessions
Geological Mapping
2004-2010
Investments:
US$ 80 millions
2004 – 2010 Program:
mapping 20% of the Brazilian
Territory focused on mineral
potential areas.

Airbone Geophysical Surveys
2004 - 2009
A área voada corresponde a 25,18% do
território brasileiro e a 68% de tudo que
foi levantado, desde o primeiro vôo em
1953 até 2002. - 2.150.000 Km²
2004-2009 Program:
Investment of US$
110 million to cover
areas with high
mineral potential.
Corresponding to
32% of the Brazilian
territory.

Strategies for the Mineral Sector Development
Attracting external investments
Adding value to mineral production
Promoting development in local productive arrangements
Regulatory stability
Supporting micro, small and medium scale mining
FINAL MESSAGE
BRAZIL IN THE WORLD (comparing with others countries)
Pop> 150
million
Country Area >
5 million [Km 2
]
GDP > 600
billion USD
Development Strategy of the
Brazilian Government (President Lula)
The conditions for sustainable economic growth
have been established.
To keep this favorable scenario, it is necessary to:
Reduce external vulnerability by increasing
export surpluses (MINING);
Attract foreign investments (MINING);
Strengthen internal market (MINING).
