The discourse surrounding the idea of development has extractivism as one of the alternatives for economic growth in countries that are rich in natural resources. Minas Gerais state, in accordance with it, has sustained a relationship of historical dependence with mining, in which the accounting of profits prevails instead of many effects resulting from this practice. For sociologist Gudynas, this kind of extractivism has repercussions that go beyond the place of exploitation, affecting the environment, the territory, the economy, among others, for which he calls "spread effects". Based on it and in the study case from Raposos Municipality (MG), this paper presents a new category that includes the effects by the daily threat of bursting three local tailing dams, which we here call "risk spreads effects".
