Abstract:	Many stages of fluid-rock interaction were recognized during the evolution of the Southern Extension of the Vazante Group from the Tocantins Province, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The hydrothermal alterations related to these multiple stages were documented in carbonate rocks of the Upper Morro do Pinheiro and Lower Pamplona members from the Serra do Poço Verde Formation. These units are the main host for the hypogene, structurally-controlled zinc silicate deposits in the Vazante Zn District, including the Vazante mine, which is considered to be the largest willemitic (Zn2SiO4) deposit in the world, with estimated total resources of 40 to 60 Mt at 20% of Zn. Six hydrothermal alteration styles were identified in Southern Extension of the Vazante Group. (I) Early stage alteration comprises dolomite substitution bands and nodules, with no appreciable metal enrichment, precipitated from moderate salinities H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 fluids, with temperatures around 90° C, interpreted as late-diagenetic. The calculated C and O isotopic compositions of the fluids yielded the lightest values (-3.62‰ to -2.60‰ PDB and +4.60‰ to +5.95‰ SMOW, respectively), suggesting meteoric and/or connate origin and interaction with organic carbon. (II) Pre-ore stage alteration is evidenced by dog-tooth dolomite and quartz with minor Fe-oxi/hydroxides which fills dissolution voids. The fluids associated to this alteration resulted by mixture of H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 high salinities fluids with H2O-NaCl-MgCl2 low to moderate salinities fluids, at temperatures around 100° to 150° C. The C isotopic also suggests interaction with organic carbon (-1.81‰ to -1.04‰). (III) Ore stage encompasses four phases of mineral precipitation. The first is distal and characterized by red stained dolostones due to disseminated hematite and red dolomite and by Al2O3, P2O5, and some rare earth elements (REE: Ce, Dy, Er, Eu, Ga, Gd, Nd, Pr, Sm, Tb) and Ni higher values. The second is the main phase of the ore stage, consisted of massive red dolomite, massive hematite and willemite with higher concentrations of SiO2, Fe2O3, P2O5, Mn, As, Ge, Hg, In, U, V, Ag, Cd, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Zn. The third phase comprises white dolomite, hematite and traces of willemite with higher concentrations of Mn, Ba, Cr, Cd, Ni, Pb, and As. The C and O isotopic compositions of the fluids in equilibrium with dolomite from these three phases are similar, and where they are incipient (δ13C = +1,23‰ to +1,61‰ PDB and δ18O = +26,22‰ to +27,55‰ at 180° C), their composition is buffered by the isotopic composition of the host dolostones (δ13C = +0,78‰ to +2,88‰ PDB and δ18O = +23,79‰ to +29,74‰, at 180° C). However, they yielded lighter isotopic values where these alterations are more pervasive (δ13C = -1,62‰ to +1,41‰ PDB and δ18O = +16,46‰ to +21,51‰ at 180° C). The fourth phase corresponds to Zn-chlorite and quartz precipitated from mixed fluids: One of H2O-NaCl composition of moderate to high salinities and other of low to moderate salinities, with temperatures around 170° to 190° C and 90° to 130° C, respectively. (IV) Early sulfide alteration composed of pyrite, sphalerite, white dolomite, fine hematite and late quartz, with higher concentrations of Na2O, SiO2, Sr, Ba, Cu, Ni, As, Re, and S. The C and O isotopic compositions of this style are similar to the three phases of dolomite of the ore stage, exhibiting the same patterns where it is incipient (δ13C = +2,09‰ to +2,92‰ PDB and δ18O = +27,22‰ to +30,02‰ at 180° C) or pervasive (δ13C = +0,37‰ to +2,27‰ PDB and δ18O = +19,12‰ to +25,73‰ at 180° C). Fluid inclusions revealed mixed fluids in late quartz from this alteration, which are similar to the fluids recognized in late quartz from the willemite ore stage. These data suggest co-genetic relationship of these two alteration styles. (V) The late sulfide alteration comprises sphalerite, galena, chalcocite, greenockite, covellite, and white dolomite, that cross-cut the massive red dolomite and massive hematite from the main ore stage phase. (VI) The latest stage is characterized by silicification. Locally quartz from this alteration reacts with earlier sphalerite to produce willemite. The lighter O isotopic composition of the ore stage fluids in equilibrium with dolomite co-genetic to willemite in pervasive alteration zones indicates the involvement of evolved meteoric fluids and metalliferous brines. Lighter C isotopic composition implies interaction with organic carbon and/or bacteriological activity during ore deposition. Fluid inclusion data suggest that fluid mixing also took place during the late phases associated with the willemite ore stage and the pyrite-, sphalerite-bearing (early sulfide) alteration.
