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 …

The greater part of the metamorphic record of the Yilgarn Craton formed during a protracted
middle Neoarchaean orogenic cycle, spanning from about 2750 to 2620 Ma. At least six …

Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology can be used to collect large amounts of multi-
element data rapidly at relatively low cost and has been widely embraced within the …

Some mafic granulites in the Sanggan area of the northern Trans‐North China Orogen
(TNCO) have a relatively simple mineralogy with low energy grain shapes that are …

Forward thermodynamic modelling is a commonly used tool for examining the
thermobarometric history of a rock. Such models are being applied to a widening range of …

We conduct 2-D numerical modeling of the lithospheric thermal structure of the North China
Craton (NCC) on basis of twenty-four crustal velocity structure profiles. About five hundred …

Craton margins can be subject to a wide array of gold genesis and redistribution processes,
although high-grade terrains on craton margins are frequently viewed as less prospective …

Geological logging by mine and exploration geologists involves the application of a
classification code that requires a geologist to make a subjective decision to classify a …

Calcic amphiboles in form of single crystals and in rock samples have been measured using
laboratory-based infrared reflectance spectroscopy (IRS) and routine IRS technologies …

The amphibolite-facies, Au-mineralized mafic rocks at the Plutonic Gold Mine are intruded
by a suite of dolerite dykes of unknown age. The zones between these intrusive units often …
