Mining could be a profitable economic activity in Western Brazil.

However this is not the case because of the following reasons :

1.) Mining activities pollute the surrounding rivers which affect the native community living around.

2.) Since sometimes the miners are people from other countries, the native communities complain of their cultures being eroded.

3.) Mining also leave the land ugly.

4.) Some of these minerals are found in rainforest and for mining to take place the forests need to be destroyed.

5.) Some minerals such as mercury are harmful to both human beings and animals.

For these reasons mining is not well developed in western Brazil since it has many adverse effects.

Mining not developed in western part of the Brazil because of the lack of knowledge and esoteric due to the forest cover and river basins.

Explanation:

  • Brazil is rich in many natural resources, such as manganese, bauxite, iron ore and coal, which contribute to its national income in large measures. In the eastern part of Brazil, a majority of mining activities are carried out.
  • Because of the thick, impenetrable forests in the Amazon Basin, it is extremely limited in the western and interior sections. The resources are highly inaccessible in these parts, and knowledge about them is limited.
