Abstract:	This PhD dissertation consists of an assessment system used to build the Mining Sustainability Index (MSI), based on the proposition and aggregation of indicators in economic, social and environmental dimensions and its assessment in selected mining operational units, including the communities located in their immediate surroundings and the municipalities in which they are inserted. As referential framework, themes related to sustainable development and its indicators are analyzed, in addition to those related to sustainable mining and the initiatives that propose indicators for the sector. Main surveys consisted of submitting a seventy-indicator list to 165 specialists, measuring these indicators in ten mining operation units located in the State of Minas Gerais, and applying 450 questionnaires to communities located in the immediate surroundings of the mines, followed by a detailed analysis including simulations of the collected data. As is well known, mining activities have certain peculiarities: geologically fixed deposits, mineral depletion, social environmental impact, international control of prices and long-term investment. Thus, sustainability cannot be assessed by the simple endurance of activities throughout the years or based only on internal actions. To be considered sustainable, mining must reduce its negative impacts, compensate the non-reducible ones and, at the same time, promote the well-being of the communities involved. Additionally, revenues currently generated must give cause to new local economic activities in the period after the deposit depletion. The importance of this dissertation is its innovative initiative that proposes a mining sustainability assessment on the basis of dozens of indicators, each one measured according to specific scales, variable within prefixed limits, providing, in the end, the aggregation of indicators in three dimension indexes and in the MSI. It might be the first proposal for the mining sector that takes into account the affected communities’ opinion in the assessment, as well as the possible influence of the mining operation in the municipality in which it is inserted, providing voice and opportunity to the wider concept of sustainability.
