Resumo
 O objetivo deste artigo é discutir, a partir de um referencial teórico e empírico, os impactos regionais e locais da atividade minerária. Tomando a Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte como objeto de estudo, em um primeiro momento analisam-se os efeitos econômicos, em especial à luz dos efeitos do boom de commodities nos anos 2000 sobre exportações e receitas tributarias. Em um segundo momento, verificam-se os impactos locais da atividade minerária, mais especificamente os conflitos com recursos hídricos e vias de transporte. Assim, espera-se avaliar as principais dimensões de impactos da atividade mineraria. A partir dessa analise, conclui-se que, por conta de seus extensos efeitos, a gestão de territórios minerários deve ir além da esfera local, incluindo obrigatoriamente a dimensão metropolitana da atividade.
 
 Abstract
 The purpose of this paper is to discuss, from a theoretical and empirical point of view, the regional and local impacts of mining activities. First, by taking the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte as the object of study, the economic effects of mining are analyzed, in particular during the 2000's commodity boom on exports and tax revenues. In a second moment, the local impacts of mining activity are verified, especially the conflicts with water resources and transport routes. Thus, it is expected that the study could evaluate the main dimensions of the impacts of the mining activity. From such a analysis, one can concluded that, because of its extensive effects, the management of mining territories must go beyond the local level in order to include the metropolitan dimension of the activity.
