Opencast mining often causes considerable changes to the landscape, including habitat fragmentation and impact on bat activities. The present study aimed to survey the composition of bats in an open pit-mining region in Barro Alto, Goiás. During 20 days of sampling in the rainy season between October (2021) and February (2022), 174 bats of 15 species were sampled. All animals belonged to the Phyllostomidae family of seven subfamilies and 13 genera. Carollia perspicillata was the dominant species corresponding to 70.69% of captures. The captured animals had a variety of eating habits, categorized as nectarivore, hematophagous, frugivore, insectivore, and omnivore. According to the national and international lists, none of the species are endangered. Finally, new research is encouraged to leverage knowledge of the bats diversity in the region and relate it to the impacts of mining.
