Summary:This paper discusses the general characteristics of the accumulation in mining and its impact on working in the territory as well as some trajectories of mining sites in relation to the various formulas used to contain the workers and population in the cities linked to the exploitation of metallic and non-metallic deposits. It shows how capital operates with the criteria of feasibility/infeasibility in relation to profitability, coming to sacrifice entire urban areas, with cultural and social consequences that threaten identities, imaginaries and the territorialization.
