MINING
Due to its vast territorial extension, Brazil has several types of
geological formations, causing a relevant mineral diversity
for the sector. Minas Gerais corresponds to 53% of the
country's iron ore production and 29% of the ores in general,
in addition to being the largest extractor of phosphate, gold,
zinc, and niobium. In the case of niobium, Minas Gerais
produces the equivalent of 75% of what is produced in the
world. Several other minerals are produced in the state, such

as bauxite, manganese, palladium, silver, dolomite, phyllite,
quartz, limestone, lead, feldspar, granite, zirconium, cobalt,
sulfur, nickel, barite, and manganese. In 2021, the most
exported item in the state was iron ore, corresponding to
48% of the total exported by the state.

CONSTRUCTION
It is a very important sector for the economy of Minas Gerais
for generating jobs and being a source of innovation and
evolution. Large companies are present in the production
chains, developing from raw materials and inputs to real
estate for the real estate market and large-scale public works,
improving the state's infrastructure.
This sector is extremely important because, in addition to
contributing to the reduction of the Brazilian housing deficit,
it helps to move other service chains: financial, commercial,
technological, transport, consulting, and training.
Minas Gerais also has a growing number of sustainable
constructions that promise not only to benefit the
environment but also to promote cost reductions from
the construction phase to the project's life cycle. The
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
and AQUA (High Environmental Quality) certifications
and adapted Brazilian version of the HQE (Haute Qualité
Environnementale), present parameters to be considered
in the construction of works with better environmental
management.
The Aqua-HQE certification process arrived in Brazil in 2008.
It is applied exclusively by the Vanzolini Foundation, which
adapted the French process to Brazilian culture, climate, and
legislation.
