We propose a two-stage genetic model for the Chapada deposit: an early porphyry Cu-Au and shear zone-hosted Cu-Au events;
The Chapada Cu–Au deposit is an example of a metamorphosed Porphyry-type copper–gold deposit of Neoproterozoic age;
Kyanite-rich rocks are interpreted as products of metamorphosed argillic hydrothermal alteration halo.
Sulfide δ34S values indicate that both mineralization stages were generated by sulfur of magmatic composition.
