🇧🇷 “We Are 3 Metres Away From Gold” — Brazil’s Legendary Serra Pelada Mine Could Rise Again
Brazil’s historic Serra Pelada gold mine is back in the spotlight as locals claim massive gold reserves remain just meters below the surface. Renewed mining interest is growing despite environmental and political challenges.
🏆 Serra Pelada was once the largest open-pit artisanal gold mine in Brazil, attracting tens of thousands of miners.
🌍 Experts say the region could still hold huge untapped gold deposits, potentially elevating Brazil’s global mining influence.
⚠️ Environmental concerns, mercury pollution, and debt issues continue to delay full-scale reopening.
🗣️ Local miner Chico Osório says: “We are three metres from the gold.”
🇧🇷 The state of Pará must balance gold extraction with environmental commitments ahead of COP30.
If Serra Pelada reactivates under modern regulation, Brazil could see one of the biggest gold booms of the decade—reshaping both local economies and global gold supply.
