Interpretation of gravimetric and aeromagnetometric informations of the northern region on the Araguaia Orogenic Belt covering an area of aproximately 129.000km2 is presented in this thesis. The area lies between is 47º50’W and 50º30’W longitudes and between 4º50’S and 9º00’S latitudes, over southeast Pará State, north-northwest of Goiás State and west of Maranhão State. The gravimetric and altimetric measurements were carried out along highways and roads in the region. The gravity data, after corrections and reductions are presented in the form of Bouguer anomalies map on scale 1:500.000. The gravimetric pattern of Araguaia Orogenic Belt shows features principally of longitudinal extension, with approximately meridional direction. These features are correlated with the known lithological and structural units in the area. In the central-meridional portion of the map, appears an extended zone of intensive negative anomaly (less than -100mgal). This zone suffers two inflexios, one in the northwest (NW) which correlates to Carajás Lineament, and the other along latitude 5°30’S. The higher gravimetric values, notably in the northwest portion (cratonic domain), are related to the influence of the metavulcanics Grão Pará Group, and those in the northeast portion are attribuited to the denser mass intruded in the crust. Notable, also a gravimetric peak on the eastern flank of the brachyanticlines. This peak could be linked to a denser mass placed under this region tectonially, creating elevations in crust base-level and consequently of the basement. Generally, the eastern flank of orogenic belt show a gradient more intensive than the western, due to principally the geometric configuration of structures. In the similar way there is a notable ascendent regional gradient from south to north. Through the analysis of magnetic intensity maps, of the Projeto Geofísico Brasil-Canadá (PGBC), diferent individual domains were identified. These domains correlate lithologically and structuraly with the geotectonics units that constitute the regional framework and their subunits. Analytical gravity and magnetic modelling were carried out for semi-quantitative interpretation with the objective to establish the basement geometric pattern of the Araguaia Orogenic Belt, and the vinculated structures. On the basis of gravimetric informations, we could verify a geometric higher pattern in the form of imbricated slices over the substratum. The higher negative anomaly in the center-meridional portion of the orogenic belt could be related with the deficiency of deeper mass (a depression in the crust bottom), or due to the presence of a low density mass in the supercrustal layers, in that zone. The gravity depression in the southwest of the area, between Guarai and Tupirama, could be attribuited to a depression in the basement, and in the similar way the negative anomaly associated with Carajás Lineament is related to a sinformal structure.

Laboratory measurements of complex conductivity were made on 28 drill-core samples from area MM1-Prospect 1 of the Carajás Mining District. The objective of this research was to help interpret field geophysical survey of the area using Induced Polarization and AFMAG methods. The laboratory measurements of amplitude and phase of conductance were taken in the frequency interval of 10-3Hz to 104Hz. The method used was the direct measurement of impedance using a memory osciloscope, a signal generator, and two high input impedance differential preamplifiers. The electrode system chosen for the measurements was the 2 electrode platinized-platinum because its frequency response is flat in the frequency range used. AlI the measurements were made at a constant temperature of 24°C±1°C. A petrographic study of the samples was done, using thin sections, polished sections and X-ray diffraction. Copper content, in the form of sulfides, was determined using atomic absorption. As a result of the petrographic study, the samples were classified in five distinct groups: granite, biotite schist, amphibolite and magnetite quartzite-iron formation. The grade of Cu was variable in the five groups, ranging from 50 ppm to 6000 ppm. In the conductivity measurements it was observed that, among the five groups, the samples of iron formation gave the largest variations with frequency. The granite samples had spectra flatter than those of schist or amphibole. In conclusion, these measurements show that the field Induced Polarization and AFMAG anomalies near these three drill holes (F1, F2 and F3) are due primarily to the magnetic iron formation, and secondarily due to associated low-grade chalcopyrite mineralization.

Eletroresistividade aplicada ao estudo de água subterrânea no município de Salvaterra-Marajó-Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1979-08-14) BEZERRA, Cesar Augusto Campos de Alencar; SAUCK, William August; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6655455534234531
A pilot area of 200 Km2 in Salvaterra county along the east edge of Marajo island was selected to make a study of groundwater using electrical resistivity methods. Sixty-five Schlumberger vertical electric soundings and six horizontal Wenner resistivity profiles were made. The sounding data were first interpreted individually with the auxiliary point method, and later reinterpreted in groups using an iterative curve-calculating routine. The results show the range of resistivities in this area vary between 5 and 40000 ohm-m. The aquifer appears to be defined by a sequence of layers with resistivities between 500 and 4000 ohm-m. In this pilot area three favorable sub-areas were delimited, covering about 40% of the area, where the interpreted aquifer thickness is in excess of 20 m and sometimes as great as 80 m. The depht to the top of this aquifer zone varies between 1.3 and 6.6 m in the three sub-areas. The geophysical interpretations were verified by four shallow drill holes (to 20 m). Two of these, located within the favorable sub-areas, showed dominantly sand sediments and the other two, drilled outside the favorable areas, showed much more clay and organic material, but limited amounts of fine sand. Analyses of water samples from many existing wells and of the new drill holes show that, in general, there are no problems with the quality of these shallow groundwaters. The only exceptions are several wells withing 100 m of Marajo Bay which show considerable increases in salinity during the height of the dry season, when the Bay waters also have maximum salinity. The ages and origin of the long oval belts of sand are not known with certaint, but they could be channel sands deposited by an ancient river or distributary of this deltaic region. The results of this research have outlined three large zones of good groundwater potential which will be very important for the agricultural and industrial development of this region.

Geofísica aplicada à prospecção de água subterrânea na área do Rio Paracauari – Ilha de Marajó - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1979-08-24) CAVALCANTI, Gerardo Majela Lima; SAUCK, William August; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6655455534234531
The Rio Paracauari pilot study area in the east-central part of Marajo Island is typical of the low, planar, natural grasslands of this deltaic region. The cattle ranches of this area suffer considerable losses during the dry seasons because the groundwater is generally brackish. A 250 Km2 study area was chosen in wich geo-electrical methods were used to search for and outline any shallow fresh-water aquifers which might be present. Fifty-three Schlumberger vertical electric sondings were made on a grid of approximately 2 by 2.5 Km, as well as 5 horizontal Wenner resistivity profiles. The VES data were initially treated with the auxiliary point method and later, groups of models were constructed using a curve-generating routine to fit the field VES curves. The geo-electric results show two types of terrain. The first with higher resistivities, reaching to 950 ohm-m, is characterized by long (10 Km) belts up to one Km wide with dominantly sand sediments beginning near surface and extending to depths on the order of 60 m. These are saturated with potable water, with the water table typically at depths of only 2 to 5 m. These aquifer zones cover less than 30% of the area. The second type of terrain occupying the rest of the area has resistivities less than 6 ohm-m and often as low as 0.5 ohm-m, and is interpreted as silts and clays with saline water. Water samples taken from the surface and from shallow wells show a range of resistivities between 1.1 and 362 ohm-m. Seven drill holes were made, to depths as great as 54m. These verified the geophysical interpretations and clearly showed the differences between the channel-fill deposits which constitute the aquifers (channel sands or point bar deposits) and the fine, organic and clay-rich sediments of the adjacent flood-plain environment. Several of the drill holes were completed as water wells and now supply potable water on two of the ranches. Although the ages of the sediments are unknown, these large channels could have been excavated during the Pleistocene sea-level minimum and later filled with coarse, medium, and fine sand as sea level rose again, diminishing the velocities of the rivers or distributaries passing through the region. There has since been a drainage reversal, with the belts underlain by channel sands now existing as slight topographic highs, which could be explained by differential compaction.

Métodos geofísicos aplicados a prospecção de água subterrânea no município de Ponta de Pedras - Ilha de Marajó - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1979-02-22) KOBAYASHI, Carmelina Nobuko; SAUCK, William August; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6655455534234531
This work was perfomed in an area of 25 km2 in Ponta de Pedras, Marajó Island. The purpose of this work was to study the geometry of the aquifers and to select favorable zones for development of ground water. Two geophysical methods were used: seismic refraction and electroresistivity. The first one was used experimentally intending to find out the possibility of its application in the area. The seismic results obtained confirm the original expectance of the existence of shallow geologic horizon at the subsurface, not able to be distinguished by the seismic method. Vertical electrical soundings and horizontal perfil resistivity were done with the electrical resistivity method. The results of the interpretation point out favorable areas in the central part of the study area and in a zone extending to the north of the prospected area. The thickness of the shallow aquifer varies between 0 and 50 m.

Métodos geofísicos aplicados à prospecção de cobre na Serras de Carajás - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1980-03-20) HOOKER, Enrique Campbell; SAUCK, William August; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6655455534234531
Through an agreement between the Federal University of Para and the Rio Doce Geologia e Mineração Company, a geophysical research was carried out in the area known as ALVO 1, MM1, Serra dos Carajás, south of Para, Brazil. The magnetic, electrical induced polarization and AFMAG methods were applied, to detect the distribution of copper in subsurface. This work was carried out both on a 9 km2 reconnaissance area (ALVO 1) and on a 0.63 km2 detail area (Corpo 2). The AFMAG method detected various conductors displaced from each other by possible faulting. The orientation of these conductors, coincides with the dominant strike of the body of schist which contains copper sulfide, associated with an iron formation. The close correlation they have with the magnetic anomaly, may imply that the AFMAG anomalies are caused, firstly by the iron formation and secondarily by the sulfide. The magnetic method detected strong anomaly over the iron formation. The displacement of the segment of the anomaly impleis faulting. This method is very important in the area due to the association of the sulfide zone with the iron formation. The electrical induced polarization/resistivity method detected anomalies with PFE, varying from 6 to 12% approximately. Several of these anomalies were confirmed by mechanical sounding and laboratory research (Rocha, 1979). It was verified that these anomalies were caused by a combined effect of the iron formation and the sulfide body. The geophysical research carried out at this pilot area turned out to be very important considering the fact that its results can be successfully extrapolated to a larger area with the same geological characteristics.

Métodos geofísicos aplicados ao mapeamento geológico numa área da Região Bragantina-Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1979-12-13) FERREIRA, João Batista; SAUCK, William August; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6655455534234531
The following research is about the aplication of geophysical methods in a pilot area in the Bragantina region, NE of Pará, as an auxiliary to geologic mapping. The area is covered with thick tertiary sediments and presents occurrences of industrial rocks such as limestone and granite, representing an outcrop surface smaller than 5% of area. Studies carried out by Goulart (1978) revealed that it is impossible to determine parent rock of the superficial material, of the A horizon. This makes difficult the surface geologic mapping and can lead to exaggerated extrapolation of the contacts, such as that which took place in the preliminary mapping. The geophysical methods applied in the area are: Electroresistivity and Magnetometry. Some mechanical sounding was carried out also. The results obtained contributed to a better understanding of the structural features mapped, and also made it possible to discover other important features. Two areas were defined for future detail study, with the objective to distinguish between the limestones of better and poorer quality. In reference to the granite region a new mapping of that area is suggested.
