ABSTRACT:The Goiás Alkaline Province (GAP), located on the north edge of the Paraná Basin, has alkaline complexes with strong magnetic signatures. The 3D inversion of magnetic signal was performed on the aeromagnetic data. Since the intrusions present a strong remnant magnetization, as measured in the laboratory, a careful analysis of this component was also realized. The sum vector of the remnant and induced components were used as a virtual induced magnetic field during the 3D inversion process. The geometric parameters were obtained from the quantitative analysis of magnetic data, using Total Gradient Direction and Analytical Signal Phase, performed over magnetic signal reduced to the pole. Magnetic susceptibility and density were measured in laboratory. All this information were used as the initial model in the inversion. The results of 3D inversion show that the alkaline intrusions have roots up to 10-12 km depth. The magnetic susceptibility is distributed in almost spherical and cylindrical shapes. The possibility of spherical shapes arise the hypothesis that the GAP intrusions at the northern part of the province represent magmatic chambers. The alkaline magma ascends from the lithosphere, and used two main fault systems as space for emplacement. These faults systems appear in the magnetic signal analysis as linear magnetic features. Chemical analysis confirmed the alkaline and subalkaline character of the magmas. The high MgO content shows the primitive character of these intrusions but the Ba anomaly indicates a possible crustal contamination.

RESUMO: A Província Alcalina de Goiás (PAGO), localizada na borda norte da Bacia do Paraná, tem complexos alcalinos com fortes assinaturas magnéticas. A inversão do sinal 3D magnética foi realizada nos dados de magnetometria. Amostras coletadas em campo de algumas dessas intrusões alcalinas apresentam forte magnetização remanescente, como mostram as medidas tomadas em laboratório, assim, uma análise cuidadosa desta componente também foi realizada. O vetor soma dos componentes remanescente mais induzidas foram usadas como um campo magnético induzido virtual durante o processo de inversão 3D dos dados magnéticos. Os parâmetros geométricos foram obtidos a partir da análise quantitativa de dados magnéticos, usando Gradiente Horizontal Total e Fase dos Sinal
