Provenance studies based upon detritic zircon grain U-Th-Pb methodology (LA-ICP-MS) from metasediments of Porongos Metamorphic Complex have determined the existence of two principal source-areas with paleoproterozoic and mesoproterozoic ages to the protolith of the schists of Arroio Areião, Cerro Cambará and associated quartz mylonites. To the Arroio Areião Sequence, ages between 1041 ± 46 Ma and 2414 ±31 Ma Ma were obtained, between 1010 ± 17 Ma and 2652 ± 32 Ma to Cerro Cambará sequence, and 1619 ± 39 Ma and 2910 ± 24 Ma to the associated quartz mylonites. The source-area with paleoproterozoic ages can be related to the Encantadas Complex rocks, which is basement of the supracrustal sequences, and Kalahari embasament rocks. The sourceareas to the mesoproterozoic zircon grains (between 1041 and 1619 Ma) are not recognized in the Dom Feliciano Belt. These zircon grains can be related to mesoproterozoic petrotectonic associations (typically associated with Greenville and Elzeverian orogens) associated to the geodynamic system that includes the Amazon, Kalahari, Congo – São Francisco and Laurentia cratons, and associated belts. This work shows that from isotopic and stratigraphyc point of view there is no significantly differences between the metasedimentary sequences cropping out in both Santana da Boa Vista antiform flanks.
