Abstract
The Madeira deposit, in the Pitinga mining district, Amazonas State, Brazil, is associated with the A-type Madeira granite (~1820 Ma), which is hosted by A-type volcanic rocks (Iricoume Group, ~1880 Ma) formed in a caldera complex. The deposit is characterized by an association of Sn with cryolite, Nb, Ta (Y, REE, Li, Zr, U, and Th) in the same albite-enriched granite that hosts a massive cryolite deposit. At the magmatic stage, the high F content in the melt was buffered by crystallization of cryolite. Tin (cassiterite) and Nb (uranoan plumbopyrochlore) were homogeneously dispersed throughout the deposit, transported by F-bearing complexes in the melt. Zircon crystallization, inhibited at the early magmatic stage by high-F activity, intensified at the late magmatic stage owing to a decrease in alkalinity associated to riebeckite crystallization, forming concentrations, together with xenotime and polythionite, in pegmatitic zones. Yttrium and REE mineralization in the lower portion of the deposit is represented by gagarinite-(Y), with fluocerite-(Ce) inclusions formed by exsolution of the early gagarinite. There is no evidence for silicate–fluoride liquid immiscibility, nor for a continuous transition from volatile-rich silicate melt to solute-rich fluids. The abrupt magmatic–hydrothermal transition triggered three processes: (1) albitization accompanied by the crystallization of hydrothermal cryolite in the rock matrix, (2) conversion of pyrochlore to a columbite-group mineral, characterized by gradual loss of Pb and enrichment in U and Nb, and (3) formation of the massive cryolite deposit, made up of crystals of twinned cryolite (87%) plus quartz, feldspar, and zircon from an aqueous saline (1.7 to 22.4 wt% equiv. NaCl) hydrothermal fluid, starting at a minimum temperature of 400°C and continuing down-temperature. The evolution of parameters (REEtotal, La/Lu, LREE/HREE, Y) in cryolite is continuous from the magmatic stage until the low-temperature hydrothermal stage. The models of mineralization invoked for Ivigtut, in Greenland, are not considered applicable. The evolution of the A-type magmatism at Pitinga is briefly discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
