Recently the state of Ceará, Brazil, has been an important iron ore producer and exporter, by Bandarra mine in Quiterianópolis city. In this city there are five known iron occurrences named Calixto, Bandarra, São Francisco, Olho D’água and Pintada. The Bandarra iron ore deposit produced and exported from Brazil to China about 1.2 million tonnes of iron ore with 60% content. These iron ore are located in Norther...
Since the 1950s, the magnetotellurics method (MT) has been widely used in mineral and oil prospecting (sedimentary basins), cratonic regions and recognitions of crustal-scale geological discontinuities. MT geophysical method consists of a passive technique that aims to investigate geoelectric characteristics of subsoil through the interaction between telluric currents and subsurface materials. The objective of ...
The research area is located in the N-NE portion of Brazil (State of Maranhão) and encompasses the following tectonic domains: the São Luís cratonic fragment, the Gurupi Belt, the Parnaíba and São Luís basins, and Cenozoic coverings. The magnetotelluric method (MT) consists of a geophysical technique that detects natural variations of the terrestrial electric and magnetic fields to investigate the geoelectric c...
This study aimed in the use of digital Processing techniques of remote sensing images, color composite RGB, bands subtraction and Principal Component Analysis - PCA (Crosta Technique) in scenes of OLI sensor, satellite Landsat 8, to assist in geological mapping, lithology identification and structure enhancement. The study area is located in the town of Canindé, inserted in Ceará Central Domain (neoarchans rock...
