    The tectonic setting and evolution of the 2.7 Ga Kalgoorlie–Kurnalpi Rift, a world-class Archean gold province

    The Yilgarn Craton results from three major mantle input events (at ca 3.0–2.9, 2.8 and 2.7 Ga) that have interacted with > 3.0 Ga continental crust. Zircon geochronology and Sm-Nd isotopic data subdivide the ...

    No evidence for high-pressure melting of Earth’s crust in the Archean

    Much of the present-day volume of Earth’s continental crust had formed by the end of the Archean Eon, 2.5 billion years ago, through the conversion of basaltic (mafic) crust into sodic granite of tonalite, tro...

    Crustal evolution constraints on the metallogeny of the Yilgarn Craton

    Improved understanding of the evolution of the Archean Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, indicates a collage of crustal fragments formed through both autochthonous and allochthonous processes. Komatiite-assoc...

    Tectonic controls on the endowment of Archean cratons in VHMS deposits: Evidence from PB and Nd isotopes

    Comparison of Pb and Nd isotopes of the well-endowed Abitibi-Wawa Subprovince with the poorly endowed Eastern Goldfields Province implies that volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) endowment in Archean terrai...
