Within this context, in addition to penalties for improper or undesired behavior, the legal framework should also provide for rewards for behavior desired by collectivity. The focus of the environmental law framework should be to attain sustainable development. The paper further outlines the mains characteristics of the economic activity of mining, highlighting its role, its related constitutional rights and obligations, and its insertion into the country’s sustainable development. In view of theoretical aspects analyzed, this study also evaluates the effectiveness and sufficiency of the regulations regarding the protection of natural underground cavities and presents some conclusions in its ending
