The Birim rocks of the West African craton comprise belts of greenschist-to amphibolite-
grade gneiss and schist, and subparallel basins of greenschist-grade phyllite of …

The timing of onset of modern-style plate tectonics is debated. The apparent lack of
blueschist metamorphism—a key indicator of modern plate subduction—in rocks aged more …

The world-class Loulo mining district (15.5 Moz resource), in the Birimian terrane of western
