The Brazilian mineral exploration industry had the best performance among economic sectors during the pandemic, with growth across all states, beyond iron ore producers. During this period, exports increased by 11% and reached R$ 37 billion, with 371 million tons shipped. The trade balance grew by 28% with a surplus of US$ 32 million.

Beyond the economic weight of the activity, the federal government also established the Mining and Development Plan (PMD) in 2020, which aims to enhance activity in the country through 10 plans and 110 goals covering various aspects of the mineral agenda, effective between 2020 and 2023.
