Belém Becomes The Central Stage For The Discussion On Sustainable Gold Production In Brazil
The mining sector in Brazil is constantly seeking innovations and best practices. In Belém, from October 16 to 18, this quest took form with the second edition of the Gold Symposium, an event promoted by ABPM that was part of the Amazon Mining Fair. At this meeting, major players in the mining industry, government officials, and experts discussed the sustainable practice of gold from its extraction to its commercialization.
Innovation and Transparency In 2022, the event highlighted the need for more transparency in the sector. The proposals included the adoption of advanced technologies to certify and track the journey of gold in Brazil, making the production chain more reliable and transparent.
The purpose of the symposium is essentially to foster debate and present solutions to enhance the gold production chain in the country. This encompasses discussions on regulations, technological innovations, environmental care, and, of course, governance and social responsibility initiatives.

Voices from the Field The opening ceremony, held at the iconic Estação das Docas, featured participation from national and international mining companies operating in Brazilian territory. The main debate included Vitor Saback from the Ministry of Mines and Energy and Anderson Baranov, leader of SIMINERAL, moderated by Luís Maurício Azevedo, president of ABPM.
Azevedo emphasizes the importance of this moment for the sector, stating that it is a phase where “Brazil is doing very well economically” and that it is crucial to seize this wave to attract more investments, especially in states like Pará, a giant in mining.
The Challenge of Sustainability Sustainability is a key word in the current world, and in the gold sector, it is no different. The main challenge is to maintain sustainable standards throughout the gold chain, which currently faces international scrutiny, mainly due to illicit practices in the Amazon region.
Azevedo highlights the need for responsible business practices throughout the production chain. Pará, being one of the largest gold producers in the country alongside renowned states like Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, was the ideal location to host this meeting.
Support and Partnerships The Gold Symposium and the Amazon Mining Fair would not be possible without the support of various entities and institutions, including the National Mining Agency, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and the State Secretariat for Economic Development, Mining, and Energy of Pará.
