Title: Serra Pelada Gold Mine In Brazil's Para State
Date: 1985-07-15
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A foreman oversees a mining plot at the bottom of the Serra Pelada gold mine in Serra Pelada, Brazil, July 15, 1985. Each plot owner had a claim of 6.6 feet (2 meters) by 9.8 feet (3 meters). Multiple plots were bought and sold. Up to 80,000 mine workers, or garimpeiros, worked in the mine during the peak production period of the mid-1980's. After numerous land slides and lack of enforcement of safety and health measures, the mine was closed by flooding the open pit area. A Brazilian joint venture headed by Colossus Minerals, Inc and COOMIGASP was granted a license to open the mine in mid-2013. Serra Pelada was home to the largest gold rush in Latin American history from 1979-the mid-1980's.

Description: Brazilian gold miners, or garimpeiros, ascend with bags of ore from the open-air mine at Serra Pelada, Brazil, July 15, 1985. Over the years, logging and other forms of deforestation have affected the eastern edge of the Amazon in the Pará state. Badly planned mining explorations in the 1980s, including at Serra Pelada, led to serious environmental consequences such as heavy water contamination from mercury. Conflict between prospectors and Indigenous populations who live around the mines remains a persistent issue in the Amazon region.
