Mining open pit exploration.
The Itabirito peak is part of the state's cultural heritage. It is a unique monolith
in the world, containing 94 million tons of ore. It is part of Vale's Pico Mine
mining complex and, as a result of years of tipping and hauling, the surrounding
mountain range and the monolith have lost its original configuration.
