Took an active part of the great banner headed by his father-in-law Fernão Dias

Paes. The purpose of this flag was to find emeralds. Borba handed the fate of the

expedition when Dias was feeling he would die. Pratically lived in the jungles for 20

years between 1680 and 1700. Rodrigo Castelo Branco, Spanish nobleman, was

sent to inspect the gold mines. In the meeting of Don Rodrigo and Borba Gato there

was much discussion, since both were brash genius. Two uses pages of Borba Gato,

witnessing the violent quarrel, feared for the life of the pioneer, and ultimately killed

the Spanish nobleman. Borba has been blamed for the death of Don Rodrigo and

was forced to flee the wilderness, taking refuge in his uncle's house on the banks of

the Rio Doce. He was a founder of the villages of Caeté and Sabara and later

managed by his family and friends, a pardon of the crime imputed to him. Grateful for

having restored his freedom, he reveals to the Governor the location of the gold

mines he had discovered, so he could return to live with his family. The governor

appointed him as greatest guard of the region of Minas Gerais, with the task of

collecting for the city the fifth of gold, according to the law, despite a life of sacrifice

and problems, ended his days in peace.
