A Preliminary Overview of the Metallogenetic Provinces of Southern Angola [Resumo]

ABSTRACT: The distinct mineralisations found in the Republic of Angola make it an area of significant interest due to its metallogenic potential. These occurrences often have a spatial distribution and form mineral associations related to specific geological areas and environments. However, given the growing global demand for mineral resources, it is crucial to comprehend a country's regional mining potential. This knowledge is essential for effective territorial planning and future exploration and research of its resources. For this reason, the Government of the Republic of Angola, through the Ministry of Natural Resources, Oil and Gas (MIREMPET) and the Geological Institute of Angola (IGEO), implemented the National Geological Plan of Angola (PLANAGEO, 2014-2022). The main aim of PLANAGEO was to establish a detailed and comprehensive geological framework, facilitating a thorough interpretation of the identified geophysical and geochemical anomalies, as well as the geological processes responsible for the recognised mineralisations.
