Proveniência e idade do metamorfismo das rochas da Faixa Brasília, na Região de Tapira (SW de Minas Gerais)

A Faixa Brasília na região de Tapira, no SW do estado de Minas Gerais, exibe quatro domínios litotectônicos diferentes, imbricados através de falhas de empurrão, com vergência para o Cráton do São Francisco. Foram conduzidos estudos isotópicos através do método Sm/Nd, que revelam diferentes idades modelo e de metamorfismo para estas escamas. As rochas da escama inferior apresentam idade de metamorfismo de 543 Ma, enquanto a escama que a superpõem, apresentam idade de metamorfismo de 581 Ma. As idades modelo (TDM) são similares para as duas escamas, variando entre 1,7 e 2,2 Ga. Em função das características litológicas essas escamas são interpretadas como derivadas de rochas depositadas em plataforma continental distal, que tiveram como fonte principal rochas de idades paleoproterozóicas do Cráton do São Francisco. As rochas da escama superior apresentam idade de metamorfismo de 612 Ma e uma distribuição bimodal das idades modelo (TDM), 1,3 e 1,9 - 2,0 Ga. Em função das características litológicas e isotópicas as rochas dessas escamas são interpretadas como depositadas em ambiente de talude continental ou assoalho oceânico, tendo os sedimentos fonte mista, de idades paleo- e mesoproterozóicas do Cráton do São Francisco. Embora, com as limitações impostas tanto pelo pequeno número de amostras analisadas, quanto pelas incertezas do método Sm/Nd, interpreta-se que o metamorfismo não foi síncrono nas diferentes escamas. Isto é esperado em um sistema de cavalgamento, no qual as escamas mais metamórficas justapõem-se às escamas menos metamórficas.

Geotermobarometria de Granulitos Associados à Supracrustais na Porção Norte do Complexo Guaxupé - Região de Arceburgo - Santa Cruz do Prata, MG

This paper is a contribution for the understanding of the geological evolution of Guaxupé Complex. New data on petrography and mineral chemistry as well as estimates of metamorphic (P-T) conditions in the region of Arceburgo - Santa Cruz do Prata (MG) Brazil, at the southern portion of the Brasília Belt, more specifically at the Guaxupé Complex (Domain) are now presented. The lithotypes are high-grade metamorphic rocks subdivided into two groups: metasediments and granulites (orthoderivates). Chemical analysis of minerals was performed in three steps including core and rim of amphibole, pyroxene, feldspar, biotite, and garnet from samples of the following rock types: enderbites, mafic granulites, charnockites, and alkali feldspar charnockites. Results obtained with geothermobarometric calculations show metamorphic peak around 900°C of T and 10 kbar of P. Enderbites and tonalite granulites (mafic) show the highest values of temperature and pressure, while alkali feldspar charnockites show the lowest probably due to their late generation in relation to mafic rock types (enderbites and mafic tonalite granulite). Chemical mineral analysis in metamorphic parageneses and geothermobarometric calculations indicate that the possible metamorphic peak may be higher than 900°C of temperature and around 10 kbar of pressure, within a isothermal decompression (ITD) regime.

Modelo estrutural do maciço rochoso do Depósito de Cobre e Ouro da Mina da Chapada, Alto Horizonte, GO

The Cu-Au mine of Chapada is located in the municipality of Alto Horizonte, in the northwestern portion of Goiás state and is inserted in the geological context of the Brasilia Belt, specifically the Mara Rosa Magmatic Arc, which hosts important deposits of Au and Cu-Au. The rocks found in the study area belong mainly to the Volcano-Sedimentary Sequence of Mara Rosa and are composed of basic to acidic metavolcanic rocks, psammiticpellitic metasedimentary rocks, chemical rocks and also hydrothermal products. Late intrusions occur and are represented by pegmatitic dikes and tonalitic bodies. The ore deposit of the Chapada mine is formed predominantly by the chalcopyrite-pyritemagnetite association, where pyrite is the most abundant mineral. Through the structural mapping of the mining fronts, it was able to recognize three deformational phases (Dn, Dn +1, Dn +2). During the Dn phase, isoclinal recumbent folds were formed, in association with amphibolites facies metamorphism. Later, in phase Dn +1, there was formation of drag folds and intrafolial folds in association with retrograde metamorphism in the greenschist facies. The deformational phase Dn +2, in its turn, was responsible for late symmetrical folding of the foliation, with NS and EW axes, resulting in an interference pattern of the dome-and-basin type

Geologia de uma área na porção centro leste da folha Cássia (1:50.000), MG

This study aimed the geological characterization at scale 1:50.000 of an area belonging to the southern sector of the Brasilia Belt, located in the western portion of the Passos Nappe, near the town of Cássia, MG. In this region, outcrops rock types belonging to Araxá Group, composed of metasediments associated with metavolcanics which form a tectonometamorphic terrain of great importance for understanding the geological evolution of southeast and midwest regions of Brazil. With the development of work was possible to group the rocks in 10 lithostratigraphic units and had been identified 3 different zones of metamorphism generated during the peak metamorphism. The structural pattern of the area shows that the main foliation has average dip 30 ° NW and mineral lineation parallel to the stretching direction with 290 °. Still, we can conf irm that this inverse gradient metamorphic rocks of the Passos Nappe, described by several authors. Also, were seen lithotypes of economic interest, some already in exploitation, such as clay and sand, and other mineral commodities, which are occurring and can be used: quartz, quartzite, garnet, kyanite, rutile and zircon.

Caracterização petrográfica dos alvos Hidrotermalitos Norte e Sul, Suruca e porção NW da Mina de Chapada - Alto Horizonte, GO

Main occurrence of Cu-Au in Goias Magmatic Arc, the Chapada mine fits into the geological context of the Brasilia Fold Belt, specifically in the Mara Rosa Magmatic Arc. Four targets, named Hidrotermalito Norte and Sul, NW Chapada Mine Portion and Suruca, are situated in this context, which includes ortogneisses and rocks from the Mara Rosa volcanic-sedimentary sequence. All these targets have been studied due to the possibility of presenting a great potential in Cu-Au, as well as the Chapada mine. Hidrotermalitos Norte and Sul targets presents four lithological sequences, which were identified as: quartz-muscovite schist; muscovite quartzites and kyanite quartzites; quartz-biotite-amphibole schist with pyrite and epidote-amphibole-biotite gneisses with muscovite; muscovite-biotite gneisses. They are metamorphosed to amphibolites facies and retrogressive greenschist facies. Sulfetation represented mainly by pyrite. In the NW Chapada Mine Portion, three main lithological groups were identified and classified as biotite gneisses; honblende-quartz-biotite-schist; amphibolites, with the first group metamorphosed in greenschist facies (low grade), and the other two groups metamorphosed in amphibolites facies, with subsequent retrogressive metamorphism in greenschist facies. Sulfetation is represented by chalcopyrite and pyrite. Finally, also three main lithological groups were identified in the Suruca target, classified as garnet-chlorite-epidote-eiotite gneiss; biotite gneiss and chlorite-biotite gneiss with epidote and muscovite; muscovite-quartz schist, all them metamorphised in amphibolites, with retrometamorphism in greenschist facies. Sulfetation represented by pyrite and sphalerite
