Major mineral deposits occur in the northeastern Bahia State, a region where the main geotectonic events of the São Francisco Craton and its marginal belts are registered. Regional structures and tectonic domains are well-recognized in aerogeophysical maps. This work discusses the influence of the major structures on the metallogeny of the northeas...

... NW-SE faults and shear zones were the main channels to hydrothermal fluids that enhanced the copper grades in the Curaçá Valley. The Rio Salitre Greenstone Belt (RSGB) displays a dextral sigmoidal shape that hosts pyrite-pyrrhotite deposits in its southern end, where the regional N-S aeromagnetic anomalies can be related to the maficultramafic volcanism of the sequence (Figure 2), which is parallel to the sulfide ore. The northern edge of the RSGB shows a NE-SW main trend related to magnetite-bearing sedimentary rocks and BIFs, intercalated with phosphate-rich carbonate rocks. ...
