A ANM lançou o Painel de Distribuição da Mineração no Brasil, com dados georreferenciados sobre mineração, fases de exploração e impacto regional. Ferramenta fortalece a transparência e auxilia no planejamento territorial.

Platform Details Distribution of Mining Activity by Region, Type of Process, and Phase of Exploration; Tool Can Help in Territorial Planning and Monitoring Mining Management

The National Mining Agency (ANM) has taken an important step to strengthen transparency and access to information in the Brazilian mineral sector. The Mining Distribution Dashboard has been launched in Brazil, an interactive platform developed by the Mineral Geoinformation Coordination (COGEO), which offers georeferenced data on mining activity throughout the national territory.

According to an official statement published on the Gov.br portal, the dashboard allows the general public, researchers, and industry agents to consult detailed information about ongoing mining processes, such as research authorizations, operating mines, occupied areas, and their distribution by states and regions in Brazil.

Open Data and Filters for Regional Consultation

The dashboard can be accessed directly from the official website of the National Mining Agency (www.gov.br/anm), in the geoinformation section. It was created to provide transparency and allow anyone to interactively track the distribution of mining in Brazil.

The ANM dashboard offers various filters that facilitate navigation by process type, exploration phase, federal unit, and mineral substance. With these options, it is possible to identify, for example, which states concentrate more mineral research applications or operating mines.

According to the ANM’s general director, Mauro Sousa, the dashboard not only increases the transparency of mining activity but also serves as support for urban and regional planning. “The ability to cross different layers of information expands the ways of consultation and generates greater knowledge about the use of Brazilian territory,” the manager highlighted in an interview with Geocracia.

These data can be used by municipalities, environmental agencies, investors, and civil society organizations to develop diagnostics and monitor the sustainable growth of mining activity.

Tool Contributes to Greater Transparency

With this launch, the ANM reinforces its commitment to modernizing information systems and democratizing public data. The dashboard allows for quick and educational consultations, helping more people understand how mining impacts different regions of the country and what the trends in mineral exploration are.

The use of geoinformation technologies in mining is a growing trend in countries seeking to align extractive activities with good governance practices and environmental responsibility. The Brazilian initiative, according to the Gov.br portal, aligns with the principles of open government and accessible data.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

Near a $750 million AI data center in Brazil, a resident’s well runs dry, leaving her unable to afford the $25,000 needed for repairs.

China could reduce iron ore imports from 80% to 50% of consumption by 2030, while its share in global steel production falls from 52% to 46%, in a shift that could reshape the global market, says CMRG.

Brazil is sitting on one of the largest lithium reserves in the world, in the Jequitinhonha Valley, but national mining has almost become an appendage of China: 97% of the metal’s export goes to a single country, which also dominates refining.

Brazil has minerals, clean energy, and a waiting market, but it could miss a billion-dollar opportunity if it doesn’t speed up the race for green minerals, while the steel industry seeks to reduce emissions.
