The English geologist, Frederick Henry Hatch , today mainly recalled for a textbook on igneous petrology, emigrated to South Africa, where, in the years between 1892 and 1906, he became one of the pioneers of the geology of the Transvaal and the Witwatersrand Goldfield. This article reviews his life and, in particular, his work during this period which led to his becoming a mining geologist with connections to many of the world's goldfields, set against the political background of the Boer War which influenced the course of his work.

Gold prospects in the Aguapeí Folded Belt are situated in the southwestern portion of the Amazon Craton, within the Alto Guaporé Province, southwestern state of Mato Grosso. The mineralizations are mainly concentrated in the Pau-a-Pique Deposit (south), Lavrinha Region (central), and São Vicente Mine (north). Gold ore comprises quartz veins and disseminations in the low-grade metamorphic metassedimentary rocks from the Aguapeí Group. This stratigraphic unit was strongly deformed by the Sunsás-Aguapeí Orogeny (1.28-0.95 Ga). The Aguapeí gold deposits differ in their petrography, chemistry, structural aspects and age from world classic gold deposits associated with coarse clastic sedimentary sequences (Witwatersrand, Jacobina, Tarkwa, etc.). This study discusses the main differences between Aguapeí gold deposits and the classic worldwide deposits hosted by conglomerates.
