Mineral systems with their core of ore deposits require a rare conjunction of geodynamic
settings, crustal or lithospheric fertility, crustal architecture and suitable host rocks, and …

The lack of new gold discoveries in recent times has prompted suggestions that Tanzania is
mature or approaching maturity, in terms of gold exploration. New tectonic–metallogenic …

Abstract The Trans-Hudson Orogen (THO) of North America is one of the earliest orogens in
Earth's history that evolved through a complete Wilson Cycle. It represents c. 150 Ma of …

ABSTRACT Views of the Superior Province as an accretionary orogen have developed over
the past two decades as a result of recognition of numerous distinct protocontinental and …

Abstract Models of greenstone belt development are crucial for exploration. Allochthonous
models predict belts to be a collage of unrelated fragments, whereas autochthonous models …

Abstract Analysis of metallogenic data, including grade and tonnage, host-rock succession,
ore and alteration mineralogy, and lead and sulfur isotope data, indicates significant secular …

Paleomagnetism is the only quantitative method available to test for lateral motions by
tectonic plates across the surface of ancient Earth. Here, we present several analyses of …

A magnetotelluric (MT) study across the Red Lake greenstone belt of the western Superior
craton, Canada, images a 50-km-long north-dipping conductor (< 20 Ω· m) at 20–25 km …

The Abitibi greenstone belt, which straddles the border between Ontario and Quebec in
eastern Canada, represents one of the largest and best-preserved Neoarchean greenstone …

This study reports new REE+ Y and 3-isotope sulfur data for Archean banded iron formation
and volcaniclastic rocks with cherty bed tops in the Neoarchean Abitibi greenstone belt of …
