Analytic techniques The analysis here reported were carried out during the last 10 years as result of several field and laboratorial works. The samples from the three deposits (Cabaçal, Expedito and Pontes e Lacerda) were prepared and analysed at Geochronological Research Center of University of São Paulo, Brazil. Initially the samples were crushed and sift at 10 mesh and the sulfide crystals were separated from quartz by hand-picking in binocular microscopy. 0,2 g of clean crystals was digest in 9 N HCl during two hours (with heating) and the solute was collected.
