          Abstract

          AbstractThis study focuses on the eastern flank of the Santa Rita syncline (Dorr 1969), with specific emphasis on the region known as Fábrica Nova. Important iron ore deposits are located on the flanks of this structure, such as Timbopeba, Alegria, São Luiz, Tamanduá, Almas and Fábrica Nova. The Santa Rita syncline is a fold with N-S axial direction and of subregional scale, with roots in the adjacent basement of the Santa Bárbara Complex and sectioned by the Água Quente thrust fault. The hypothesis of this study is that the structural framework of the region resulted from the superposition of at least three deformation phases on the Ouro Preto nappe. The Fábrica Nova mine, located in the central portion of the study area, is embedded in a synformal structure with a 100/20 trending axis named Fábrica Nova synform. The proposed model to explain the particular structural geometry of this region is based on the flanking folding mechanism (Passchier 2001). This mechanism may have been developed by E-W crustal shortening during the F4 tectonic deformation phase.

          ResumoO presente trabalho se concentra na aba leste do sinclinal Santa Rita, (Dorr 1969), a partir da região conhecida como Fábrica Nova. Importantes depósitos de minérios de ferro estão localizados nos flancos dessa estrutura, como os de Timbopeba, Alegria, São Luiz, Tamanduá, Almas e Fábrica Nova. Esse sinclinal é uma dobra de escala sub-regional de direção axial N-S com raízes no embasamento adjacente do Complexo Santa Bárbara e seccionada pela falha de Água Quente. A investigação propõe a hipótese de que o arcabouço estrutural da região é resultante da superposição de pelo menos três fases de deformação sobre a nappe Ouro Preto. A mina de Fábrica Nova, localizada na porção central da área estudada, está inserida em uma estrutura sinformal de eixo 100/20, o sinforme de Fábrica Nova. Para a geometria particular dessa região, é proposto um modelo com base no mecanismo de dobramento por Flanking Folds (Passchier 2001). Esse mecanismo se daria através de um encurtamento crustal de direção E-W da fase de deformação F4.
