Abstract (EN): Although Portugal is not a major mining country, it has two important metallogenic provinces (Sn-W on the north and centre and Cu-Zn on the south), and presently two world-class mines (Panasqueira and Neves Corvo). In the last 15 years mines have produced Cu, W, Sn, Au, Ag, Fe, Mn, Ti and Ii. In the last 150 years mines also exploited Pb, Zn, Cr, Sb, Ta, Nb and Mo. This paper presents the location, geology, ore grades, and extracted tonnages for the most important mineral deposits. It also reviews the most promising metallic resources for at least the next 15 years, which may be of future interest for exploration companies.
