The Mogno Trondhjemite is one of the largest TTG units of the Rio Maria Granite-Greenstone Terrane (RMGGT). It was considered as representative of a second generation of Archean TTG in that terrane. However, field, petrographical, geochemical, and geochronological studies demonstrate the existence of two distinct TTG units in its main area of occurrence. For the dominant TTG unit, showing NW-SE to EW foliation and distributed in the eastern and western domains of the mapped area, the term Mogno Trondhjemite was maintained. The new TTG unit, which occurs in the center-western domain and displays a NE-SW to NS dominant trend, is named as Mariazinha Tonalite. Hence, the original area of occurrence of the Mogno Trondhjemite was significantly reduced. Moreover, Pb-Pb zircon ages indicate that the Mogno Trondhjemite and the Mariazinha Tonalite are neither coeval, nor related to the second generation of TTGs of the RMGGT. The two TTG studied units are composed of epidote-biotite tonalites and trondhjemites of the high Al2O3 type, with geochemical characteristics similar to those of the typical Archean TTG granitoids. Compared with the Archean TTG units of the Xinguara region, the Mogno Trondhjemite geochemical characteristics are transitional between those of the Caracol Tonalitic Complex and the Água Fria Trondhjemite, while those of the Mariazinha Tonalite approaches those of the Caracol Tonalitic Complex. The studies undertaken in the Mogno Trondhjemite and associated Archean granitoids demonstrated that the TTG series of the RMGGT are more diversified and complex than previously admitted. The domain of the second Archean generation of TTG of the RMGGT was drastically reduced and a new Archean TTG association, the Mariazinha Tonalite, was identified and characterized.

The Tapajós Gold Province (TGP) is located in the center of the Amazonian craton. It is dominated by Paleoproterozoic calc-alkaline and A-type granitoids and intermediate to felsic volcanic sequences. The Vila Riozinho region, situated in the central-eastern part of the TGP and constituted by the Vila Riozinho, Moraes Almeida and Jardim do Ouro villages, has the more important geologic units that characterize this province. The aim of this paper is to present new petrographic and geochronological data on the porphyry granites associated with the dominant monzogranitic rocks of the Older São Jorge granite and with ignimbrites and rhyolites of the Moraes Almeida Formation and leucogranitic rocks of the Maloquinha suite. The geochronological data revealed at least two distinct periods of generation of porphyry granites in the region. The first, associated with 1.98 Ga calc-alkaline magmatismo, and the second with 1.88 Ga alkaline rocks. Backscattered images and analyses of EDS (energy dispersive spectrometry) obtained with a SEM (scanning electron microscope) showed that is frequent the occurrences of gold particles in the porphyry granites filling cavities in quartz and plagioclase, or associated with epidote and alkali feldspar. These data suggest that the porphyry granites can have contributed to gold mineralization of the Vila Riozinho region, and shows that detailed studies are necessary to elucidate metallogenetic importance of these rocks in the gold mineralization of the region.

Inclusões fluidas crepitadas, fluidos hipersalinos e aquo-carbônicos em quartzo associado a rochas micáceas no Granito Xinguara - Terreno Granito-Greenstone de Rio Maria, PA
(2008-03) WEBER, Marcelo Leopoldo; RONCHI, Luiz Henrique; ALTHOFF, Fernando Jacques; LEITE, Albano Antônio da Silva; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto; FUZIKAWA, Kazuo
The micaceous rocks occurring in the Xinguara Granite, Rio Maria Granite-Greenstone terrain, Pará State, Brazil, are composed of muscovite and chlorite with quartz levels intercalated forming a well developed schistosity. This schistosity is cut by quartz veins. Both quartz generations show the same aqueous, aqueous-carbonic and halite-bearing fluid inclusions either in secondary inclusions halos and trails surrounding decrepitated primary fluid inclusions or in transgranular secondary trails. A wide variation of homogenization temperatures, high salinity, necking down and the decrepitated inclusions existence indicates strong influence of post-formational alteration and reequilibration linked to the granite intrusion. These foliated rocks are metasedimentary enclaves affected by late hypersaline aqueous-carbonic granitic fluids.

Mineral chemistry and crystallization parameters of the A-type Paleoproterozoic Bannach Granite, Carajás Province, Pará, Brazil
(Sociedade Brasileira de Geologia, 2018-09) MESQUITA, Caio José Soares; ALMEIDA, José de Arimatéia Costa de; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto
The A-type Paleoproterozoic Bannach Granite belongs to the Jamon Suíte and cross-cut the Archean units of the Rio Maria Domain in the Carajás Province. It comprises eight facies with varied mafic content and texture: even-grained cumulate granite (CG), even coarse-grained biotite-amphibole monzogranite (cBAMz), even coarse-grained amphibole-biotite monzogranite (cABMz), porphyritic biotite monzogranite (pBMz), even coarse-grained leucomonzogranite (cLMz), early even medium-grained leucomonzogranite (EmLMz), late even medium-grained leucomonzogranite (LmLMz) and even fine-grained leucomonzogranite (fLMz). In the less evolved facies, the dominant amphibole is Fe-hornblende passing to Fe-edenite or hastingsite, with associated cummingtonite/grunerite originated from the destabilization of clinopyroxene. Biotite has ferroan composition and approaches annite in the late-emplaced leucomonzogranite. Plagioclase varies from andesine to oligoclase or from oligoclase to albite. Titanite, magnetite, and ilmenite are found in all granite facies showing magmatic origin. The near liquidus temperatures vary between 943ºC and 795ºC and the estimated emplacement pressure is 300 ± 50 MPa (~11.1 ± 1.9 km). Amphibole Fe/(Fe + Mg) ratios together with magmatic magnetite and titanite indicate that these granites crystallized at moderately oxidizing conditions, similar to those admitted for the Jamon granite and magnetite series granites of Laurentia. However, the composition of biotite suggests a more reduced character close to NNO to NNO -0.5. The late leucomonzogranite facies is an exception because it displays high Fe/(Fe + Mg) ratios in biotite and approaches to the reduced granites of Carajás, Laurentia and Fennoscandia in this regard. It derived from a more reduced source than the other facies of Bannach Granite

Mineralogia dos greisens da área Grota Rica, Plúton Água Boa, Pitinga, Amazonas
(2011-09) FEIO, Gilmara Regina Lima; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto; BORGES, Régis Munhoz Krás; COSTI, Hilton Túlio; LAMARÃO, Cláudio Nery
The topaz-alkali-feldspar-granite, the most evolved facies of the Água Boa pluton, was affected by hydrothermal alteration, represented by greisens and quartz veins, the main host for Sn- and subordinated Zn mineralization. The greisens are classified as quartz-topaz-siderophyllite-greisen, topaz-siderophyllite-greisen and quartz-topaz-quartz-greisen. They are composed essentially of quartz, topaz and siderophyllite, accompanied by variable amounts of fluorite, zinnwaldite, sphalerite, cassiterite, zircon and anatase and locally Ce-monazite, galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite and native bismuth. EMPA studies allowed identifying three types of micas: (1) brown siderophyllite from topaz-granite; (2) the green siderophyllite of greisens and (3) zinnwaldite, weakly colored, found as thin and discontinuous rims around green siderophyllite, and quartz vein. The siderophyllite composition of the granite towards greisens shows an evolution of siderophyllite to Li-siderophyllite with increase of VIAl, Li and Si contents. On the other hand, the siderophyllite of the greisen was partially replaced by zinnwaldite, with increase of VIAl, Li and Si contents. The cassiterite in the greisens forms euhedral to subeuhedral, twin and zoned crystals, with strong pleochroism. It occurs as aggregates together with topaz, quart and fluorite. The pure composition and the low content of the Nb and Ta of cassiterite indicate hydrothermal conditions.

Morphological and compositional variations of zircon and their metallogenetic implications: the example of the Jamon, Serra dos Carajás and Velho Guilherme suites, Amazonian Craton
(2014-03) LAMARÃO, Cláudio Nery; SILVA, Joseanna dos Santos; BORGES, Régis Munhoz Krás; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto
Zircon from granites of the Jamon suite (JS), Serra dos Carajás suite (SCS) and Velho Guilherme suite (VGS) were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) through backscattered electron and cathodoluminescence images and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. Granites and greisens of the VGS have predominantly anhedral zircons that are altered and intensely corroded, are enriched in Hf and have the lowest Zr/Hf ratios of the studied suites. In the granites, these ratios decrease towards the more evolved varieties. Zircons of the JS are euhedral to subhedral, zoned and slightly altered; they are also comparatively depleted in Hf and display the highest Zr/Hf ratios, indicating limited potential for tin-associated mineralization. Zircons from granites of the SCS are subhedral to anhedral, altered and corroded, and show Hf contents and Zr/Hf ratios intermediate to those of the JS and VGS. The granites of the VGS with Sn-, Ta- and W-associated mineralization contain zircons with Zr/Hf ratios varying from 7 to 22. It is concluded that ratios of similar magnitude can be used as a prospecting guide for specialized granites. Zircons from the greisens associated with the Cigano granite of the SCS have average Zr/Hf ratios of approximately 23, but no cassiterite was found in these rocks, indicating that the zircons preserved their magmatic geochemical signature. This study distinguished the three granitic suites in terms of zircon composition and demonstrated the importance of their geochemical signature, especially in terms of their Zr/Hf ratio, in the identification of specialized granites. EDS-SEM analysis can thus be used in a preliminary assessment of the metallogenic potential of tin granites.

Petrografia, química mineral e processos hidrotermais associados ao depósito de ouro São Jorge, Província Aurífera do Tapajós, Cráton Amazônico
(2009-06) BORGES, Régis Munhoz Krás; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto; LAMARÃO, Cláudio Nery; FIGUEIREDO, Marco Aurélio Benevides Maia; LEITE, Albano Antônio da Silva; BARROS, Carlos Eduardo de Mesquita; COSTI, Hilton Túlio
The Paleoproterozoic São Jorge gold deposit is situated in the Tapajós Gold Province of the Amazonian Craton. The deposit is hosted by an amphibole biotite monzogranite, composed of quartz, potassic feldspar, plagioclase, amphibole, biotite, titanite and opaques. Four dominant mineral assemblages were recognized in the deposit. Assemblage 1 was formed during the magmatic stage and is characterized by the presence of amphibole and andesine-oligoclase. Assemblage 2 shows the total replacement of the amphibole and intense saussuritization of the primary plagioclase, epidote is a ubiquitous phase and biotite is partially chloritized. Assemblages 3 and 4 are related to the hydrothermal processes, which generated the sulfide and gold mineralization. Assemblage 3 is dominated by chlorite and albitic plagioclase with subordinate white micas and, sometimes, biotite. Assemblage 4 is dominated by white micas, carbonates and pyrite. It is a result of a phyllic alteration, with associated carbonatization. Chlorite geothermometer suggests temperatures of 300±40 °C for the 3 and 4 assemblages. Al in hornblende geobarometer indicates low pressures, around 1 kbar for the crystallization of the mineralized granites. Oxidizing conditions, above NNO, prevailed during the genesis of the deposit. The hydrothermal assemblages of São Jorge differ from those described at Joel and Davi and are not dominated by epidote minerals as registered in other areas of the Tapajós province. A porphyry model or intrusion-related model are best adapted for the São Jorge deposit. The latter has similarities with the Serrinha deposit in the Juruena province and Batalha in the Tapajós province but it has more strong analogies with the Volta Grande hydrothermal system in southern Brazil.

Petrography, magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry of the Rio Branco Granite, Carajás Province, southeast of Pará, Brazil
(2013-03) SANTOS, Patrick Araujo dos; FEIO, Gilmara Regina Lima; DALL'AGNOL, Roberto; COSTI, Hilton Túlio; LAMARÃO, Cláudio Nery; GALARZA TORO, Marco Antônio
The Paleoproterozoic Rio Branco stock intrudes the Archean Cruzadão biotite monzogranite. It occurs west of the Canaã dos Carajás city, close to the Sossego copper mine in the Carajás Province. It is constituted by undeformed and isotropic, hololeucocratic syenogranites, showing equigranular texture. The granite is formed essentially by perthitic alkali feldspar, quartz, and plagioclase, with additional variable amounts of chloritized biotite. Fluorite, allanite, and zircon are common accessory minerals, whereas pyrite and chalcopyrite are scarces. Albitization and subordinate greisenization are the main alteration processes that affected the granite. The secondary mineralogy is represented by albite, fluorite, topaz, chlorite, muscovite, siderophyllite, and iron oxides. Magnetic susceptibility values are systematically low and vary between 1.3 x 10-5 a 6.9 x 10-4 (SI). The Rio Branco Granite is metaluminous to peraluminous and shows high FeOt/(FeOt + MgO). It has geochemical affinities with ferroan, reduced A2-subtype granites. The rare earth element (REE) patterns are flat with little heavy REE fractionation and show accentuated negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.08 - 0.13). These characteristics are typical of evolved granites, derived from volatile-enriched liquids responsible by the intense subsolidus hydrothermal alteration. The dating of the Rio Branco granite did not give conclusive results, but the obtained data, associated with geological evidence, suggest that it is of Paleoproterozoic age. The comparison between the Rio Branco granite and Paleoproterozoic A-type suites of the Carajás Province suggests that the Rio Branco granite has more affinity with the Velho Guilherme suite and, in lesser degree, with the Serra dos Carajás suite. On the other hand, is clearly different from oxidized A-type granites of the Jamon suite. Despite its similarities with tin-specialized granites, the Rio Branco Granite is not associated with tin mineralizations.
