Besides geographical, social, economic and historical features of Mato Grosso state, the resumption of prospectors activities in the end 70 s followed by several mining companies searching for gold in the periodo 1979-1995 are outlined. The geological setting the mineralization types, the exploitation modes, the dressing units for the gold ore, the "garimpeiro" reserves established in the state, the production statistics are described in the major producing regions Cuiabá lowlands, Southwest region and Northen region.
