Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to present the regulatory frameworks of Brazilian Mining Law against the need to discuss strategic aspects to exploit the potential of Rare Lands in Brazil, especially in Bahia. The objective is characterizing the regulatory evolution between the colonial and contemporary periods to present the model proposed by the World Bank in order to accelerate national economic growth through sustainable mining activity. Therefore, the proposed analysis conditions is based on the systematized knowledge of the bibliographic research, primary data collection of the DNPM processes related to the Rare Terrestrial Research in Bahia, interpretation of secondary data, interviews, georeferencing as well as index variables FIRM. After all, a study of the municipality of Ubaíra / Bahia was used as a reference, whose delimitation followed the parameters: municipality with area required for research of Rare Earths next to the DNPM; area contained in Zone of Mineral Interest and in Areas of Interest of metallic minerals; areas required in Sustainable Usage Conservation Unit and municipality that is part of the semiarid to validate the development of sustainable mining activity in municipalities with rare earth potential. Finally, it was verified the need for a new legal system to guarantee the desired security necessary to resume the production of Rare Earths not only in Bahia, but throughout Brazilian territory.
