Análise de potencialidade metalogenética de bens minerais industriais na folha Estrela do Sul (se.23-y-a-iv)

Abstract

Maps of metallogenetic potential are cartographic products capable of assisting public managers and miners in selecting the most favorable areas for prospecting and mineral research. The elaboration of the maps takes place through the integrated analysis of varied information from the pre-existing geoscientific knowledge, based on the definitions of the models of mineral deposits. Therefore, the present work aimed to carry out the evaluation, correlation and interpretation of information from geological surveys in order to elaborate an integrated map of metallogenetic potential for rocks and industrial minerals in the Estrela do Sul sheet (SE.23-Y-A-IV), on a scale of 1:100,000. This product may be useful to assist decision-making in public and private spheres aiming at access to industrial rocks and minerals, which are of high importance for society and its way of life.
