- An overview of the gold mine at Serra Pelada shows between 80,000 to 100,000 miners digging out bags of ore that were carried by hand to the surface in Serra Pelada, Brazil, July 15, 1985. 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.

- 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.
