Strategies for Targeting in Undercover Terrains: Modeling Multi-Source Data in Apuí Region, SW Amazon Craton, Brazil

Exploring covered terrains is a challenge that requires the integration of multiple sources knowledge, particularly in initial stages mineral exploration. The Apuí region, located Southwestern Amazon Craton, has small and constant gold production, despite deep cover limited geological knowledge. mainly hosted quartz veins breccias cut Paleoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary sequences. occurrences have similar characteristics to magmatic–hydrothermal deposits, such as lack regional metamorphism intense hydrothermalization. We undertook multi-source prospective investigation on different scales using 2D 3D techniques translate footprints system into mappable criteria. Gold prospectivity maps for Juma District Guida Target were produced by integrating geological, geochemical, geophysical datasets knowledge-driven fuzzy systems. Regional airborne magnetization vector inversion (MVI) models utilized. correlation between drill cores magnetic susceptibility highlighted potential surface mineralization associated with boundary granitic intrusion rocks. reduced search area, allowed reconnaissance structures bodies may be related at depth. results present new strategies increasing discovery performance Southern Craton under cover.
