Abstract
This paper reviews general aspects regarding the occurrences of alkaline rocks associated with carbonatites in Brazil. Currently twenty-two complexes are listed in the literature, but only a few have been thoroughly studied. Special attention is given to the geological association and geochronology of such rocks, and petrological problems are only briefly discussed as a consequence of insufficient information. Data on mineral resources are also provided for some complexes. Eight occurrence are being mined, particularly for phosphate and niobium.
