“ORIGIN OF THE ORES. Massive Ores and Jacutinga. - Itabirite and bedded ore were formed together under similar conditions, and statements regarding the origin of one apply to the other.[…] Fragmental Ores […] are due to the surface weathering and erosion of the massive ores, jacutinga and itabirite above described.”

“... jacutinga, itabirite, quartzite, and dolomite, as of secondary origin, formed by a relatively deep-extending series of surface chemical processes, justifying, in his opinion, the use of the term 'digestive.' Mr. Goodchild[…]”

“The early literature used the term "jacutinga" for both soft ore and soft itabirite. Hussak (1908) states: "The fragments of jacutinga, rich in gold, from Gongo Socco and Machuiné, examined by me, were formed of schistose hematite, containing very little pyrolusite, earthy limonite, some scales of talc, and certain masses which had the appearance of kaolinite." Bensusan (1929) who has worked more extensively with "jacutinga" gold ore than other modern authors, defines jacutinga as "a sandy micaceous iron ore, and the constitutes are micaceous iron schist and fiable quartz, oxide of manganese, and fragments of talc."”

“[…] itabirite, because he noted that "jacutinga" was the most important host rock for gold mineralization, whereas itabirite was an unfavorable host rock.”
