Minaçu, Municipality in northern Goiás, Brazil.
Located at an elevation of 351 meters, Minaçu stretches across 2,860 square kilometers in the state of Goiás, near the Tocantins River.
The municipality evolved from an agricultural settlement into a mining center following the discovery of chrysotile deposits in the northern Goiás region.
Local residents maintain Brazilian traditions through regular gatherings that include regional dances, music performances, and community festivals throughout the year.
The municipality connects to major cities through the Belém-Brasília highway BR 153 and maintains an airport for regional transportation needs.
The Cana Brava mine in Minaçu ranks as the third-largest chrysotile asbestos extraction site globally, after operations in Russia and Canada.
