Catalão (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐtɐˈlɐ̃w]) is a city and municipality located in the south of the state of Goiás, in Brazil. It is a large producer of grains, cattle, and phosphates and has a John Deere and Mitsubishi factory.

Catalão is the seat of the Catalão Microregion which includes 11 cities with an area of 15,238.60 km².

Located in a region of fertile soil rich in phosphates, with excellent highway and railway connections, and watered by several rivers, the municipality has been experiencing rapid growth in recent years and is the third-largest payer of state taxes.

The city lies a short distance north of the border with the state of Minas Gerais where a large dam over the Paranaíba River, the Barragem de Emborcação, separates the two states. It is connected by paved highway with Goiânia (253 km), Brasília (330 km), and Uberlândia (114 km), in the rich Mineiro Triangle.

Highway connections with Goiânia are by BR-352 / Bela Vista de Goiás / Cristianópolis / GO-020 / BR-352 / Pires do Rio / GO-330 / Ipameri.

Municipal boundaries are with:

North: Campo Alegre de Goiás
South: Davinópolis, Ouvidor, Três Ranchos, and Cumari
East: Minas Gerais
West: Goiandira and Ipameri

Catalão is connected to the East West railroad system and to the future North-South system, which begins in Anápolis. It also has an airport with a runway for small and medium-sized planes, 1,400 meters long, paved, and lit at night.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Late/Upper Cretaceous : 87.1 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
