The industrial mining in Amapá has been developed for six decades (1950-2010, since the settlement of the project ICOMI into the recent investments in gold and iron mines carried out by the enterprises MBPA (current Beadell Brasil) and MMX (current Anglo Ferrous Amapá). Starting from the analysis of data contained in environmental licensing processes, monitoring reports, performed interviews, among other sources, the interpreted activities have been identified as social-environmental conflicts coming from the ore mining enterprises in Macapá, the relations of these conflicts with environment administration and the sustainable development speeches. It has been evidenced that there exists a direct relationship between the state organ environment performance and the efficacy of environment administration put into practice by the mining business of enterprises and that the social-environmental conflicts are a result of the fragility of performance of public institutions responsible for the politics of environment administration. Nevertheless, it has been observed that harmful political agreements have advanced legal proceedings of environment instruments administration. These issues have shaken inexorably the principles that lead the environment politics, as the care, the democracy and the sustainability among others. However, it has been verified that inherent idiosyncrasies exist about the form of managing each commercial enterprise and that the environmental administration is the answer to the challenges of viability of each enterprise, as it was with ICOMI in the 1950’s that established programs of environmental health in order to create habitability conditions in the middle of the Amazon forest and more recently with MPBA when, in its short performance activity in Amapá, it created voluntarily funds of social and community development, besides the publication of sustainability reports to communicate their actions. Another askew issue has been also detected; it is concerned with the time of transactions; they weren´t compatible with the environment licensing fulfillment, as it has been proved by the MMX, Amapá performance time; nevertheless, the registered results are due to the violations performed by the company, resulted positive, when they are assessed under the focus of profits measured at the stock market and in the subsequent sale of the iron mine of Amapá to the Anglo American Mining Company. It has also become well-known that it is the Department of Justice, the mediator agent most looked for in order to decide the social environment conflicts provoked by the mining enterprise performances but the results of the means applied still lacks evaluation. The conclusion is that the environmental administration practiced in Amapá is a potential field of conflicts, where public power commits omissions together with the private enterprises, due to lack of technical education and technology in order to produce the modernity of industrial mining and also the lack of the pro-active environment and the adoption of a sustainable development far away from where it is accomplished.
