Gongo Soco was a gold mine in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, to the east of Belo Horizonte in the mid-19th century.It was worked by skilled miners from Cornwall and by less skilled Brazilian labourers and slaves.Machinery powered by a water wheel and a steam engine was used to pump out the mine, operate the lifts, and operate the grinding mills where the gold was separated from the ore.The mine was closed when the gold ran out, but was later reopened as an iron ore mine.Recently the iron mine was also closed.

- Gongo Soco era una mina de oro en el estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, al este de Belo Horizonte a mediados del siglo XIX. Fue trabajado por mineros calificados de Cornualles y por trabajadores y esclavos brasileños menos calificados. La maquinaria accionada por una rueda hidráulica y una máquina de vapor se usaron para bombear la mina, operar los ascensores y los molinos donde se separaba el oro del mineral. La mina se cerró cuando se agotó el oro, pero luego se volvió a abrir como una mina de hierro. Recientemente la mina de hierro también fue cerrada. (es)
- Gongo Soco é um testemunho de um dos ciclos mais marcantes na economia nacional, o ciclo do ouro. O sítio tem sua história iniciada em 1745, quando o cavouqueiro Bitencourt encontrou ouro nos cursos d’água que cortam a região. No final do século passado, foi adquirido por João Batista Ferreira e em 1825, a mina foi comprada por ingleses da Cornualha, que operaram entre 1826 a 1856, criando ali um florescente povoado britânico tropical, com hospital, capela e cemitério particular. Ficou paralisada durante muito tempo e em 1986, foi adquirida pela Mineração Socoimex que mantém até hoje resguardado o acervo ambiental e histórico da região. (pt)
