Thursday November 5, 2015 – MEG Luncheon features:
*A Synopsis of the Geology, Major Mineral Deposits and Exploration in Brazil*
by JIM ALLAN, Calgary, AB
This topic should be of interest to members of the MEG as mineral exploration and development in Brazil has not received as much publicity as some of the other Latin American countries. The presentation will be introduced by a few facts on Brazil, a summary of the mineral commodities produced in Brazil, a few comments on the history of mineral development followed by an overview of the main geological features, mineral provinces and major deposits including a few comments on methods of discovery. As this topic is too broad to be adequately covered in a luncheon presentation, descriptions of major mineral deposits will be focused on the two most important mineral provinces in Brazil, the Iron Quadrangle and the Carajas Region. If time permits Jim will speculate on the similarities and differences between the geology and mineral deposits in Brazil and the geology and mineral deposits in Canada. This talk is based primarily on recent literature research by Jim and his experiences in Brazil from 1973-1976.
