Abstract

This paper aims to present an exploration model to localize Sn and W mineralizations associated with granitoids of the Ribeira Valley in the State of São Paulo, Brasil. The method is based on the interactive analyses of several thematic maps conceming the most important factors (geological, geochemical, geophysical and metallogenetics concepts) that indicate the presence of deposits. Such an integraded approach was used in an exploration program driven to fmd Sn-W mineralizations spatially related to granitic plutons. The result of the program has proved the efficiency of the method by detecting the Sn-W mineralizations of the Bairro dos Correas pluton
