Through geologic mapping of the Nova Canadá area, was possible to individualize two mafic units, typified for diabase dikes, isotropic, and extensive bodies of amphibolites with nematoblastic and granoblastic textures, outcropping only in the southwestern part of the area. Both units cross-cut granitoids of Xingu Complex and Sapucaia greenstone belts sequence. They are classified as subalkaline tholeiitic basalts. Diabase dikes are divided into three varieties, namely hornblende-gabbronorite, gabbronorite and norite, being the differences between these ones only concerned the modal contents of amphibole, ortho- and clinopyroxene, once petrographically, they don’t show significant differences. They consist of plagioclase, ortho-/clinopyroxene, amphibole, Fe-Ti oxides and olivine; they show a moderate fractional pattern REE and unremarkable negative Eu anomaly. Tectonically, they are related to a continental intraplate environment, and show OIB and E-MORB-types signatures. On the other hand, the amphibolites show a flat REE pattern and an absence of Eu anomaly. They are classified as island arc tholeiites and show N-MORB-type signature. This lithotype includes plagioclase, amphibole, opaque minerals, titanite and biotite as main mineralogical phases. The mineral chemistry shows in the diabases no significant variation between plagioclase core and rim, being classified as labradorite, with rare andesine and bytownite; the amphibole shows a compositional gradation from Fe-hornblende to actinolite with increasing silica. In the amphibolites, the plagioclase shows a wide compositional variation, from oligoclase to bytownite in the foliated rocks; in the amphibolites less/no foliated, there is only sodic andesine. Pyroxene is only found in the diabase dikes and exhibits considerable variation compositional, showing a magnesium content increasing in the cores; the iron and calcium contents increase toward the rims; it is classified as augite, pigeonite (clinopyroxene) and enstatite (orthopyroxene). Diabase dikes have titanomagntite, magnetite and ilmenita as main Fe-Ti oxides. Textural analyses of these oxides allowed identifying five distinct forms of ilmenite in the diabase dikes: trellis ilmenite, sandwich ilmenite, patch ilmenite, individual ilmenite, internal and external composite ilmenite. Texture features suggest that titanomagnetite and individual and external composite ilmenite crystallized in early magmatic stage. During the subsolidus stage, titanomagnetite was transformed by oxidation-exsolution in intergrowths of almost pure magnetite and ilmenite (sandwich, patch, trellis and internal composite ilmenite). Amphibolites have ilmenite as the only Fe-Ti oxide mineral, that occurs as individual ilmenite, and it is always associated to amphibole and titanite. Norites and gabbronorites are characterized by the highest values of the magnetic susceptibility (MS); these varieties exhibit the highest modal opaque minerals content, having primary titanomagnetite as mineralogical phase. Hornblende-gabbronorites exhibit the moderate values of the MS, and amphibolites, the lowest ones. The negative correlation between MS values with modal ferromagnesian contents of the diabases shows that paramagnetic minerals (amphibole and pyroxene) don’t have significant influence in the magnetic behavior in these rocks. In contrast, the positive correlation between these variables, of the amphibolites, suggests these mineral phases are the main responsible for its values of the MS. Geothermobarometric data obtained from titanomagnetite-ilmenite pair in the diabase dikes show temperature and oxygen fugacity conditions (1112°C and -8,85, respectively) close to NNO buffer.
