The result of the search was the finding of gold in the riverbeds and in the city of Ouro Preto, where there were already large deposits in the 17th century. In this way, the toponym "Minas" is directly linked to the historical and socioeconomic construction of the state. The mineral activity has evolved and modernized over time, becoming a crucial sector in the projection of Minas Gerais to the national and international market. It is noted the presence of this type of raw material in the manufacture of ma- terials used in the energy, transport, innovation, and civil construction sectors, among others, which are indispensable sectors in day-to-day modern life. Currently, mineral resources continue to be highlighted, mainly niobium, iron, steel, and gold. 7
