Numerous localities :
- Cachoeïra do Abado
- Fazenda da Viiiva
- Fazenda Santa Maria
- Serra de Santo Antonio

Complex and huge quartz vein field within hydrothermally altered rocks in a shear zone.

SiO2-enriched structures (quartz lenses and segregations) in the hinge of folds and boudinaged veinlets in the limbs of folds.
EW-trending shear zones forming frontal ramps and imbricated thrusts stacking sequences of mylonitic quartzite and garnet muscovite schists concentrate gold.

Numerous alteration zones : chloritization, sericitization, tourmalinization and sulphidization (pyrite and arsenopyrite).
Amphibolites are hydrothermally carbonitized and epidotized, with gold concentrations of 0.21 ppm.
