The name Minas Gerais (literally, "general
mines", or"the place
with a large variety of mines") makes reference to the gold
mines which attract hordes of explorers, during the second
half of 16th century and the best part of the 17th century;
huge amounts of gold from Minas was sent to Portugal and
on to England.
On more recent times, other mineral resources were found on
the State, notably iron (the State is one of the largest producers
and exporters of iron ore and steel).
Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro dispute the position of
second most industrialized State in Brazil |
