    O Greenstone Belt Faina está localizado na porção sul do Bloco Arqueano de Goiás e vem sendo pesquisado desde o século XVIII por conta dos seus depósitos auríferos. Estudos recentes revelaram o potencial polimetálico do cinturão, em razão dos valores anômalos de Ag, Cu, Fe e Co, além de Mn, Ba, Li, Ni, Cr e Zn. Este estudo foi desenvolvido por meio da caracterização de dois alvos selecionados, Cascavel e Tinteiro, utilizando dados multifonte, tais como aerogeofísica de alta resolução, geoquímica e geologia. Esses dados foram integrados para criar um mapa prospectivo final utilizando a técnica lógica fuzzy. A mineralização aurífera do alvo Cascavel está inserida em um sistema orogênico e ocorre em dois sistemas de veios de quartzo superpostos, denominados de Mestre-Cascavel e Cuca, encaixados em quartzitos e com espessura média de 50 cm e orientação N45º-60ºW/25ºSW com a presença de ouro livre em grãos de 2-3 mm até 3 cm. O mapa prospectivo criado para esse prospecto indicou quatro áreas mineralizadas com favorabilidade de primeira ordem e novos focos com média favorabilidade. O alvo Tinteiro, derivado de estudos realizados pela empresa Orinoco do Brasil Mineração Ltda., mostra uma mineralização polimetálica associada a depósito do tipo óxido de ferro-obre-ouro-(prata), posterior à mineralização do alvo Cascavel. Seu mapa prospectivo apontou 19 novos focos com alta potencialidade para mineralização de Au, Cu e Ag, sugerindo novas direções para futuros programas prospectivos.The Faina Greenstone Belt is located in the southern sector of the Goiás Archean Block and has been investigated since the 18th century because of its gold deposits. Recent studies have revealed the polymetallic potential of the belt, which is indicated by anomalous levels of Ag, Cu, Fe and Co in addition to Mn, Ba, Li, Ni, Cr and Zn. This study was developed based on a detailed analysis of two selected target sites, Cascavel and Tinteiro, and multiple data sets, such as airborne geophysics, geochemistry and geological information. These datasets were used to create a final prospectivity map using the fuzzy logic technique. The gold mineralization of Cascavel target is inserted in an orogenic system and occurs in two overlapping quartz veins systems, called Mestre-Cascavel and Cuca, embedded in quartzite with an average thickness 50 cm and guidance ­N45º-60ºW/25ºSW with free coarse gold in grains 2-3 mm to 3 cm. The prospectivity map created for this prospect generated four first-order favorable areas for mineralization and new medium-favorability foci. The Tinteiro area, derived from studies conducted by Orinoco do Brasil Mineração Ltda., shows polymetallic mineralization associated with an iron oxide-copper-gold ore deposit (IOCG) system posterior to Cascavel target mineralization. Its prospectivity map generated 19 new target sites with the potential for Au, Cu and Ag mineralization, suggesting new directions for future prospecting programs

    Orientadores : Asit Choudhuri, Gergely Andres Julio SzaboTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de GeocienciasResumo: A região de Nazareno está localizada na borda meridional do Cráton do São Francisco e inclui rochas de origem plutônica, vulcânica e sedimentar, arqueanas a mesoproterozóicas, retrabalhadas por eventos termo-tectônicos subseqüentes. Dois conjuntos distintos de rochas máficas e ultramáficas ocorrem nesta região. O primeiro representado por metavulcânicas de filiação komatiítica e toleítica, pertencentes ao Greenstone Belt Barbacena, e o segundo caracterizado por corpos máfico-ultramáficos diferenciados encaixados nessa sucessão vulcano-sedimentar. O presente estudo pretende caracterizar e reconstruir a história evolutiva desses conjuntos de rochas máficas e ultramáficas. As rochas pertencentes à sucessão vulcano-sedimentar estão distribuídas em duas faixas irregulares com direção NE-SW, Faixa Nazareno e Faixa Rio das Mortes, delimitadas por granitóides paleoproterozóicos intrusivos. As rochas de filiação komatiítica são depletadas em alumínio e apresentam características químicas semelhantes às ocorrências clássicas de komatiitos do tipo ADK, com valores de AlzOj/ Ti02 Do e D 0+1. The oldest, probably of Archean age, developed at lower amphibolite conditions (M1) is recognizable in the vo1canic sedimentary rocks. Pervasive tectonic features recorded also in the vo1canic sucession and in the mafic-ultramafic layered bodies, characterize the main deformation event Dn. This event occurs in lower to middle amphibolite facies and represents the first register of the Transamazonian Event in the region. The Dn+ 1 phase is impressed in all rocks of the study area and developed at upper greenschist facies (M3), representing either the second manifestation oftheTransamazonian Event or an event related to the Brasiliano Orogenic Cycle. The geological evolution proposed for these rocks involves the deposition ofvo1cano-sedimentary succession in an oceanic plateau setting; collage and accretion of oceanic plateau at a continental margin; intrusion ofmafic-ultrarnafic layered bodies in an anorogenic setting; deformation and metamorphism of these sequences during the Transamazonian event, followed by the intrusion of several granitoid bodies and diorites associated to magmatism of the Mineiro Belt. Probably, the reactivation of the oldest structures in greenschist facies occurred during the Brasiliano Event. The age of the beginning of this evolution is still poorly known. However, the minimum age is marked by the Cassiterite Trondhjemite body (2.612:!: 10 Ma) intrusive in the mafic-ultramafic bodies and their host rocksDoutoradoDoutor em Ciência

    Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Southern Peru contains important epithermal Au-Ag (+/- base metals) deposits, such as Canahuire, Tucari, Santa Rosa, Caylloma, Shila and Paula. The Chapi Chiara gold prospect is located in this region and is part of a paleo-stratovolcano of the Upper Miocene-Pliocene. The hydrothermal alteration of the prospect was characterized based on spectroradiometric data, geochemistry and petrography. The mineralogical data, interpreted based on reflectance spectroscopy, were spatialized using the sequential indicator simulation technique for producing probabilistic maps of alteration. The inner part of the paleo-stratovolcano (SW sector) is marked by three main cores of advanced argillic alteration (AAA) (quartz-alunite supergroup minerals-kaolinite-dickite +/- topaz +/- pyrophyllite +/- diaspore) associated with topographic highs. The AAA1 core is surrounded by argillic alteration (quartz-illite-paragonitic illite-smectite +/- pyrite) and propylitic alteration (quartz-plagioclase-chlorite-calcite-epidote-smectite +/- kaolinite +/- pyrite +/- chalcopyrite +/- magnetite). The central sector of the prospect, situated in the NE flank of the paleo-stratovolcano, is characterized by hydrothermal breccias structured towards N65E. The main mineral phases comprise quartz and abundant pyrite, sometimes with traces of As. Anomalous geochemical values of Ag, As, Bi, Hg, Se, Sb and Te coincide with high gold contents in this sector of the prospect Jarosite and goethite are evidence of a subsequent supergene event. Based on the mineralogical characterization, we conclude the existence of a high sulfidation epithermal system in Chapi Chiara. Hypogene minerals of higher temperature in the SW sector of the prospect, such as diaspore, pyrophyllite and topaz in the AAA zone, and epidote in the propylitic alteration zone, can reveal that the system is currently in a relatively deep erosion level, suggesting its proximity in relation to the interface between a deep epithermal system and a mesothermal system.

    Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Southern Peru contains several small- and medium-sized epithermal Au-Ag (+/- base metals) deposits related to Miocene-Pliocene metallogenetic belts. Specifically, the characterization of the geology and mapping of hydrothermal alteration zones of the Chapi Chiara prospect, Canahuire deposit, and Cerro Millo and San Antonio de Esquilache targets were done with data acquired by Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) spaceborne sensor. ASTER mapping techniques included (1) band ratio and principal component analysis (Crosta technique) applied to the visible and near-infrared and short-wave infrared bands to produce a regional hydrothermal alteration map (alunite and/or kaolinite, illite-muscovite and/or smectite, iron-bearing minerals) and (2) spectral indices and selective principal component analysis applied to the thermal infrared bands to detect quartz- and carbonates-bearing targets, respectively. These methods were used to establish a hydrothermal zoning pattern in paleostratovolcanoes, where the Chapi Chiara, Cerro Millo, and San Antonio de Esquilache targets are located. This zoning pattern was used to infer erosion conditions and the potential for metal deposits based on the mineralogy, which was also analyzed using reflectance spectroscopy and petrography. In addition, ASTER data were used to characterize the carbonate host rocks, the quartz-bearing units of the Yura Group, and the quartz-poor unit associated with the phreatic and phreatomagmatic breccias in the Canahuire deposit region. This characterization led to the development of a favorability model for the occurrence of "Canahuire-type" deposits based on spatial analysis using the fuzzy logic technique.11017390Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)National Council for Scientific and Technological DevelopmentFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)FAPESP [2011/00106-8

    Chemostratigraphy of the Carajás banded iron formation, Brazil : a record of Neoarchean Ocean chemistry

    No full text
    One of the most important occurrences of banded iron formation (BIF) worldwide is situated in the Carajás Mineral Province, southeastern Amazonian Craton. The BIFs are jaspilites and are hosted in the Neoarchean ( 2.74 Ga) volcano-sedimentary sequence of the Grão-Pará Group. They are mostly composed of cm-thick intercalations of hematite, jasper, and chert. Their primary textures and structures are still preserved, which make them an ideal archive to evaluate the paleomarine environment. Low abundance of Al2O3 (<1.0 wt%) and HFSE (<1 ppm) for most BIF samples indicate an essentially detritus-free depositional environment. Overall, the rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) patterns show a weak positive lanthanum (La) anomaly, and a pronounced positive europium (Eu) anomaly (Eu/EuPAAS = 1.86 – 5.05), although the presence of true cerium (Ce) anomaly is not evident. Stratigraphic variations in iron isotope compositions, up to 0.80‰ (d56Fe = +1.10 to +1.90‰) over tens to hundreds of meters of stratigraphic section, point to relative changes in the iron isotope composition of Carajás seawater over periods of a few million years. The jaspilites show heterogeneous distribution of Nd isotopic signature throughout the BIF sequence, and rocks from near the basaltic flows/jaspilite contact (type-II) have negative eNd (t) values (–4.97 to –0.90). In contrast, predominantly positive eNd(t) values (–0.84 to +5.40) are common in the remaining samples (type-I). The strongly positive d56Fe values indicate a low degree of partial oxidation of Fe(II), which, combined with the pronounced positive Eu anomalies and the absence of Ce anomalies, hint towards that the deposition occurred mainly on a deep-sea environment with intense hydrothermal activity under anoxic and suboxic conditions, distal to continental landmasses. Locally, considerable oxygen was probably present in the ancient ocean’s water masses, which led to the precipitation of BIFs
