The Quadrilátero Ferrífero region (southeast Brazil) encompasses important Archean greenstone belt sequences. In this work we performed a 2D gravimetric modeling using the recently acquired terrestrial gravity data from a northeast region in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, and correlate the anomalies with the known geological surface information and airbone geophysical data to evaluate models for the Pitangui greenstone belt. Although the Pitangui greenstone sequence has been mapped, its subsurface geometry is poorly known. Prominent gravity highs are observed in the profile center over the high density (2930 kg/m 3 ) metaultramafic magmatism. Units of mafic (2900 kg/m 3 ) and metasedimentary (2930 kg/m 3 ) rocks were also individualized. Gravity lows are associated with gneissic and granitic rocks, occurring at the edges of the crosssection (⩽ 2730 kg/m 3 ). The data also suggests the presence of a non-mapped granitic intrusion that is coherent with the ternary image. The modelling indicates that this greenstone belt has limited depth around 2 km, which is comparable to thicknesses obtained elsewhere from previous work.
