Committee: Subject of thesis: State:RS 1/1,000,000 sheet: SH22 Centroid of the area: ''-W Abstract In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the place named Vacacaí, (São Gabriel district), occurs a mineral deposit of molybdenite. The occurrence of this mineral and others of paragenetic origin is located somewhat in the contact area between the Algonquian granite and the schists of the same period, (Porongos series). The main purpose of this paper was the study og the history of the region, the genesis and the paragenesis of the minerals and some correlated phenomena. Special attention was given to the geological and petrographical features of the region, whose rocks consist predominantly of epi-meso-metamorphic schists, granite, andesite and relies of Devonian (?) arkoses (Camaquan series). The alkaline granite wich is intruded in the schists was responsible for the effects of contact and "lit-part-lit" metamorphism wich follows the structure of the schists. Feldspathization and sericitization are common in the contact zone. The molybdenite masses are related to few deep-seated high temperature quartz veins which are enclosed in the feldspathizied schists. The ore minerals are molybdenite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, gold, hornite, copper and magnetite. The gangue is mainly quartz, fluorite, epidot, calcite, limonite and malachite occur locally. The viens, certainly formed at considerable depths, and classified as hipo-mesothermal veins, according to the Lindgren's classification, are connected to the granitic intrusion. Molybdenite occurs either in veins or disseminated in the country-rock. The writer is of the opinion that the fluorin had played an important part regarding to the precipitation of molybdenite, which should be present as a volatile constituent - Mo'F IND.6' - in the granitic magma. Finally the authoor concludes that the first mineral to be formed was molybdenite, which was succeeded by others Franco,R.R. 1944. Tin belt of Rio Grande do Sul.
