Only 1,177 days separate accidents of the Fundão ore reject dams in Mariana and the Córrego do Feijão mine in Brumadinho in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, both in southeastern Brazil. In the first incident, in November 2015, the toxic sludge expelled by the structure killed 19 people, buried villages, left thousands of people homeless, and reached the sea. At the time it was considered one of the country’s biggest socio-environmental disasters in the mining sector.
And then on January 25th, 2019, about 78 miles from Mariana, another tragedy struck in the state of Minas Gerais. The full impact of the Brumadinho accident is still being evaluated, but at least 65 people have been reported dead, victims of the tailings mud stored at Dam I of the Córrego do Feijão Mine, and about 280 were missing at the time of this writing.
The collapse of those two dams, operated respectively by the Samarco (joint-venture of BHP Billinton and Vale S.A) and Vale, could have been avoided, say environmental experts. Stricter licensing laws and state oversight and the adoption of more modern technology could transform the Brazilian mining sector, making such incidents less likely, experts told National Geographic Brasil.
