Sn-Nb-Ta-T-(Y, REE, Li) deposit associated with the A-type Madeira granite.

Note on the mineral list: Bastos Nero et al. (2009) also mention "waimirite" and "atroarite".

Xenotime-(Y) from the deposit is highly enriched in fluorine, with up to 5.10 wt.% F for the material from core albite-enriched granite.

These pegmatites fit in the CMS (Dill, 2016) classification as the 24dE type because they are hosted in peralkaline igneous rocks and are carriers of REE-Y ores. According to the classification by Černý and Ercit (2005), they belong to the Rare Elements class and the NYF family, as they are rich in REE, Nb, Y and F, and are associated with A-type granites in environments with low pressures and temperatures.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Paleoproterozoic : 1885 Β± 4 Ma to 1782 Β± 4.6 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
