Intrusion (about 900 km2 of surface) and outcrops mainly in the form of extensive slabs, blocks, and boulders embedded in rocks of the Jamari Complex and the Serra da Providรชncia Suite. Through satellite images and geophysical surveys, two circular intrusions in the Massangana Massif were mapped, consisting of coarse-grained rocks with perthitic microcline as a phenocryst. In the central part of the intrusion, circular intrusions are composed of medium to coarse-grained biotite granites, surrounded by hornblende-microcline granites.

There is a blue topaz deposit, located 40 km SW of Ariquemes.
The Massangana Massif is a considerable intrusion (about 900 km2 of surface) and outcrops mainly in the form of extensive slabs, blocks, and boulders embedded in rocks of the Jamari Complex and the Serra da Providรชncia Suite. Through satellite images and geophysical surveys, two circular intrusions in the Massangana Massif were mapped, consisting of coarse-grained rocks with perthitic microcline as a phenocryst. In the central part of the intrusion, circular intrusions are composed of medium to coarse-grained biotite granites, surrounded by hornblende-microcline granites. The southeastern portion of the Massangana Massif records the Sรฃo Domingos intrusion, characterized by at least three distinct types of biotite-granite. Tin mineralizations occur near the boundaries between the two lithotypes.
