A one day workshop for gold researchers and explorers at Curtin University, Perth W.A., 6th February 2013
The last two decades of research into the 4D evolution of the gold-rich Eastern Goldfields Province (EGP) indicates a complex mosaic of different terranes accreted to the older nuclei of the proto-Yilgarn Craton.
The timing of various igneous and metamorphic events in each terrane, together with reliable dating of gold mineralisation, provides an absolute timeframe from greenstone formation to cratonisation. Important outcomes from 4D studies include the recognition of coeval gold mineralization within terranes (but not necessarily between terranes), regional fertility possibly related to lithospheric structure, a mantle link via the presence of coeval lamprophyres, and a tectonic link between gold and late basins.
This research and Workshop is supported and sponsored by the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund (AISRF), Curtin University, the National Geophysical Research Institute (Hyderabad, India), Pondicherry University (Puducherry, India), and the AIG. AISRF has subsidised speaker attendance at the workshop.
