| Abstract | |
In the eastern sector of the Alta Floresta Gold Province (AFGP), the gold mineralization occurs mostly in veins, systems of veins or disseminated in granitic rocks of the stockwork. Most of these deposits are found in a NW-SE region, with an approximate range of 30 km wide and 140 km long, and it is called Peru - Trairão, because it extends from the north region to the south region in Peru. The veins in this range are sub-vertical, with variable directions and are related to magmatic-hydrothermal genesis in the form of quartz veins associated to fractures or ductile shear zones in brittle-ductile. The filoneans auriferous systems are grouped into four main structural systems, based on the disposal of mineralized structures: (a) System Novo Mundo: WNW-ESE and NS under ductile regime and NW-SE under brittle regime (e.g. Novo Mundo-MT region) (b) System Flor da Serra: NNE-SSW and WNW-ESE under brittle regime (e.g. Flor da Serra region), (c) System Peixoto: NS, NNE-SSW and NW-SE under ductile to brittle regime (e.g. Peixoto de Azevedo region) and (d) System União do Norte: E-W under ductile regime and NE-SW under brittle regime (e.g. Vila União do Norte region). Dating with U-Pb in zircon by LA-ICP-MS in mineralized granites in the shear belt define the following crystallization ages: (i) Quartz-feldspar Porphyry (União Porphyry), 1774±7.5 Ma, related to post-collisional magmatism; (ii) União Granodiorite, 1853±23 Ma that holds the deposits Bigode, Bernaldo and Carrapato; (iii) Aragão Granite, 1931±12 Ma that holds the deposits Aragão and Jurandir; (iv) Suíte Intrusiva Pé Quente Monzonite with the age of 1979±31Ma and holds several gold deposits. These data delimit the date of the main granitic bodies with spatial association for gold, both as the point of its period of crystallization as the approximate limits of these mineralizations, and contribute to a better understanding of the crustal evolution in the region. Provenance study with U-Pb in detrital zircons in the volcaniclastic unit (feldspathic greywacke) of Serra Formosa volcano-sedimentary sequence, the host of the gold deposit Francisco, that has values between 1.7 and 2.0 Ga, indicating an essential provenance of Paleoproterozoic sources (AU) | |
