The world's oldest continually producing gold mine, started in 1725. Until 1960, it produced about 450 tons of gold. The mine includes the Mina Velha and Mina Grande deposits. In 1997, the Mina Grande workings were abandoned after reaching a depth of 2,453 m below the surface at level 27. At the same time, the Mina Velha workings were 518 m deep and still producing.
Coordinates are given for the Mina Grande workings.
The Morro Velho gold deposit is hosted by rocks at the base of the Archean Rio das Velhas greenstone belt. The deposit occurs within a thick carbonaceous phyllite package, containing intercalations of felsic and intermediate volcaniclastic rocks and dolomites. Two types of ore occur in the deposit: dark gray quartz veins and sulfide-rich gold orebodies. The sulfide-rich orebodies range from disseminated concentrations of sulfide minerals to massive sulfide bodies. The group of rocks hosting the Morro Velho gold mineralization is locally referred to as "lapa seca". The term lapa seca means "dry stone" and has been used by local miners to refer to barren or very low-grade quartzβcarbonate rocks. The "lapa seca" is interpreted as the results of a pre-gold alteration process and may be divided into carbonatic, micaceous and quartzose type.
