100,000 people were digging at its peak , the mining camps had between 60 - 80 murders every month.

reopened in 2006 commercially

has much gold the problem is that the Brazilian government is thief and sells the right to dig for foreign companies
Brazilian garimpeiros have no chance in this country called Brazil
