Brazil Mining Sector Report 2018/2022

The mining sector plays a key role in the Brazilian economy, accounting for 13% of the total export value and for 2.4% of the net FDI equity capital inflow in 2017. After two years of recession in the country – marked by a double dip in GDP over the period 2014-2015 and the collapse of a dam belonging to Samarco Mining in 2015 – the extractive industry, including mining and oil &gas extraction, rebounded in 2017, posting a 4.3% y/y growth in gross value added (GVA). Brazil maintains a prominent position in the global mining industry, being home to some of the world’s largest reserves of minerals like iron ore, graphite and niobium.
