Abstract

The research aims to discuss how niobium mining leads to the destruction of ecosystems and the living conditions of traditional populations in rural areas in Brazil. We articulate the concept of necrocapitalism, which refers to contemporary accumulation practices involving the expropriation and subjugation of life to the power of death, to analyze the exploitation of niobium in the municipality of Catalão/GO, home to Brazil's second-largest niobium company producer, China Molybdenum (CMOC). Qualitative research was conducted through interviews and documentary research, which were subsequently analyzed through thematic analysis. The thematic analysis resulted in three categories that describe the necrocapitalist accumulation practices of the niobium industry, the context of exploitation, and the effects of exploitation on the populations living around the extraction mine. The results point to the expropriation of communities, the destruction of livelihoods, and the resistance.
