In 2020, gold mine production in Brazil amounted to approximately 99 metric tons of metal content, including large scale mining operations, small scale operations (defined as lavra garimpeira in Portuguese), and gold contained in copper ores and concentrates. Minas Gerais was the largest gold producing state in the country, accounting for around 34 percent of the gold output that year.

Figures for 2019 and 2020 were calculated by Statista based on the sum of production from gold mines, small scale manual production (lavra garimpeira, in Portuguese), and gold production from copper mines, provided by the source. In previous editions, the source did not provide a breakdown of gold production.
This statistic was compiled using several releases of the publication.
