Igarapé Bahia, Serra dos Carajás
Iron oxide-Cu-Au-(Mo-Ag-U-REE) deposit, consisting of a hydrothermally altered breccia underlain by basalt and iron-formation and overlain by siltstone and greywacke. The breccia contains clasts of altered basalt, chert and iron-formation in a matrix of chlorite, magnetite, carbonates and chalcopyrite. The orebody has a strongly weathered gossaniferous cap that extends to depths of 200 m. Gold and chalcopyrite are the main ore minerals.
Strong hydrothermal alteration of the host sequence produced intense chloritisation, Fe-metasomatism, Cu-sulphidation (chalcopyrite and bornite), carbonatisation, silicification, tourmalinisation and biotitisation in the primary zone.
The mine was started in 1990 and produced about 98 tons of gold until 2002, when Vale ceased the operation.
A deeper orebody, Alemão (Cu-rich), was reached in the end of the operation.
