    Late Archean to Paleoproterozoic dike swarms crosscut the basement and supracrustal sequences of the São Francisco Craton. Their spatial distribution and orientation patterns, as paleomagnetic signature, provide key evidence to the positioning of the cratonic area in ancient paleocontinental reconstructions through the refinement of the “magmatic barcode”. Zircon U–Pb data from dikes in the cratonic domain of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero Mineral Province, in the southern of São Francisco Craton, allowed the recognition of two magmatic stages: a Rhyacian-Orosirian pulse, belonging to the Paraopeba swarm, and a Statherian pulse that belongs to the Pará de Minas II swarm. The Ediacaran Brasiliano Orogeny later affected dikes from both swarms. The Paraopeba swarm consists of pulses related to the Rhyacian-Orosirian orogenic cycle, with dikes providing U–Pb zircon ages of 2019 + 23–11, 1944 ± 29 and 1918 ± 12 Ma. The zircon εHf values from these dikes are predominantly negative, suggesting reworking of preexisting crust, whereas the TDM ages vary from 4000 to 2500 Ma, which can be interpreted as a long period of crustal residence. The Statherian Pará de Minas II swarm, with a U–Pb zircon age of 1717 ± 9 Ma, is chronocorrelated to the lower stratigraphic sequence of the Espinhaço rift basin. Zircon grains from this dike have predominantly positive εHf values and TDM model ages between 3050 and 1950 Ma. Unlike the Paraopeba swarm, the Pará de Minas magmatism is marked by a striking input of juvenile mantle material with minor crustal contamination. The Ediacaran Brasiliano tectono-thermal event caused isotopic disturbance in both Paraopeba and Pará de Minas II swarms, resulting in lower intercepts at 595 ± 65 and 584 ± 27 Ma, respectively. Our data pinpoint dike emplacement related to tectonic events described in the southern of São Francisco. In the final stages of Rhyacian orogenic cycle, at ca. 2019–1918 Ma, data suggests an important crustal contamination. Thereafter, a crustal rifting event at ca. 1717 Ma involved dike swarm emplacement with magmatic source from a mantle plume. The Rhyacian-Orosirian ages obtained here are the first zircon U–Pb geochronological data presented for the Paraopeba dike swarm and allow for a refinement of the São Francisco Craton barcode, reinforcing previous suggestions of proximity with the North China Craton crosscut by the similarly aged Hengshan and Xiwangshan/Xuwujia dike swarms, whether or not those two cratonic pieces were part of the Columbia supercontinent.

    U-Pb geochronology of the Lagoa Real uranium district, Brazil : implications for the age of the uranium mineralization.
    (2015) Lobato, Lydia Maria; Pimentel, Márcio Martins; Cruz, Simone Cerqueira Pereira; Machado, Nuno; Noce, Carlos Maurício; Alkmim, Fernando Flecha de
    The Lagoa Real uranium district in Bahia, northeastern Brazil, is the most important uranium province in the country and presently produces this metal in an open-pit mine operated by Indústrias Nucleares do Brasil. Uranium-rich zones are associated with plagioclase (dominantly albite ± oligoclase) -rich rocks, albitites and metasomatized granitic-gneisses, distributed along NNW/SSE striking shear zones. We have used the ID-TIMS U-Pb method to date zircon and titanite grains from the São Timóteo granitoid, and albite-rich rocks from the Lagoa Real district in order to assess the age of granite emplacement, deformation/metamorphism and uranium mineralization. The isotopic data support the following sequence of events (i) 1746 ± 5 Ma - emplacement of the São Timóteo granitoid (U-Pb zircon age) in an extensional setting, coeval with the beginning of the sedimentation of the Espinhaço Supergroup; (ii) 956 ± 59 Ma hydrothermal alteration of the São Timóteo granitoid and emplacement of the uranium mineralization (U-Pb titanite age on an albite-rich sample); (iii) 480 Ma metamorphism, remobilization and Pb loss (U-Pb titanite age for the gneiss sample), during the nucleation of shear zones related to the collision between the São Francisco-Congo and Amazonia paleoplates. The 956 ± 59-Ma mineralization age is apparently associated with the evolution of the Macaúbas-Santo Onofre rift. This age bracket may bear an important exploration implication, and should be included in the diverse age scenario of uranium deposits worldwide.

    In situ LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating of detrital zircons from the Cercadinho Formation, Minas Supergroup.
    (2014) Mendes, Mônica de Cássia Oliveira; Lobato, Lydia Maria; Suckau, Victor; Lana, Cristiano de Carvalho
    Nesse trabalho são apresentados novos dados geocronológicos obtidos para rochas detríticas da Formação Cercadinho, unidade basal do Grupo Piracicaba, Supergrupo Minas. Análises U-Pb por Laser Ablation Induced Coupled Mass Spectrometer (LA-ICPMS) em zircões detríticos provenientes de amostras de quartzito permitiram obter uma nova idade máxima para a deposição da Formação Cercadinho, sendo que a população mais jovem entre as amostras datadas forneceu uma idade média de 2680 ± 24 Ma. Essas rochas possuem uma expressiva contribuição de zircões Meso- e Neoarqueanos, com idades entre 2812 ± 19 and 2909 ± 19 Ma, e populações mais antigas entre 3212 ± 18 e 3272 ± 16, que ocorrem principalmente no núcleo de zircões mais jovens. Comparando-se esses resultados com idades anteriormente obtidas por outros autores para unidades basais do Supergrupo Minas (Formação Moeda), percebe-se um envelhecimento da área fonte para rochas de nível estratigráfico superior, com uma maior contribuição de zircões provenientes de TTGs cristalizados entre o Meso- e o Neoarqueano.
