Resumo: Abstract: Large-scale mining in Brazil is driven by an extractivist model of socio-environmental and structural risks. The Samarco/Vale/BHP Billiton disaster in Doce river basin, caused by rupture of Fundão dam in Mariana/MG, and the Vale disaster in Paraopeba river basin, caused by the rupture of Dam I in Brumadinho/MG, are undoubted examples of risks of predatory mineral model. The aim of this text is present the results of a geographic expedition realized in Paraopeba river basin ten days after the rupture of Vale's iron ore tailings dam in Brumadinho/MG. The expedition in Paraopeba river basin was carried out between 04 and 06 February 2019 and allowed direct contact with territories and individuals impacted by mud-tailings. Based on direct observations and interviews, our results stand out the cartography of disaster along the river valley, with effects on organization of life and work of farmers, fishermen and riverine people. We believe that reports of field experience here highlighted will contribute to a critical debate about the mining model in Brazil. Keywords: Brumadinho/MG. Paraopeba river basin. Mining. Disaster.

Disaster.Resumo: A mineração em grande escala no Brasil é movida por um modelo extrativista de riscos socioambientais estruturais. O desastre da Samarco/Vale/BHP Billiton na bacia do rio Doce, provocado pelo rompimento da barragem de Fundão em Mariana/MG, e o desastre da Vale na bacia do rio Paraopeba, causado pelo rompimento da Barragem I em Brumadinho/MG, são exemplos indubitáveis dos riscos do modelo mineral predatório. Desse modo, o texto apresenta relatos de uma expedição geográfica na bacia do rio Paraopeba, dez dias após o rompimento da barragem de rejeitos de minério de ferro da Vale em Brumadinho/MG. Realizada entre os dias 04 e 06 de fevereiro de 2019, a expedição na bacia do rio Paraopeba permitiu o contato direto com territórios e sujeitos impactados pela lama-rejeito. Baseados em observações diretas e entrevistas os resultados sublinham a cartografia do desastre ao longo do vale do rio, com efeitos na organização da vida e do trabalho de agricultores, pescadores e ribeirinhos. Em suma, acredita-se que os relatos da experiência de campo destacados no texto contribuirão com o debate crítico sobre o modelo de mineração no Brasil. Palavras-Chave: Brumadinho/MG.
