Abstract The Archaean Yilgarn Craton (Western Australia) is a world-class metallogenic
province, hosting considerable resources of Au, Ag, Ni, Cu, Zn and Fe. Here we present …

Abstract The Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia represents one of the largest pieces of
Precambrian crust on Earth, and a key repository of information on the Meso-Neoarchean …

The evolution of a gold-bearing hydrothermal fluid from its source to the locus of gold
deposition is complex as it experiences rapid changes in thermochemical conditions during …

The Archean orogenic gold deposits exhibits common characteristics including coeval
emplacement age often proposed to be associated with a single late tectonic gold …

A large compilation of quality-curated major and trace element data has been assembled to
investigate how trace element patterns of mafic and ultramafic magmas have varied with …

Komatiites require external sulfur from country rocks to generate immiscible sulfide liquid,
which concentrates metals to form economic nickel sulfide deposits. Although signatures …

Evidence for episodic crustal growth extending back to the Hadean has recently prompted a
number of numerically based geodynamic models that incorporate cyclic changes from …

Abstract The Kanowna Belle deposit is a world-class Archean orogenic gold system that
witnessed multiple fluid episodes over a protracted deformation history. The hydrothermal …

Many economic gold deposits formed in the Neoarchean under greenschist facies
conditions in association with ductile–brittle shear zones that were conduits for sulfur …

During the Archean, episodic volcanism commonly included both plume-and arc-type
magmatism, raising the issue of a possible link between “bottom up” and “top down” …
