Summary:
The Minas-Rio Project is inserted in the southeast border of the São Francisco Cràton and comprises world class iron deposits. The main iron ore is concentrated in a medium unit of the Serra do Sapo Formation which corresponds to a large banded iron formation. The outcrops occur along a narrow ridge of 12km length in NNW-SSE strike and moderately dipping (25o) to the East. All these sequences are controlled by thrust fault systems that are responsible for local duplications, inversions or suppression of the beds.
