Metamorphic evolution and integrated terrane analysis of the Eastern Yilgarn Craton Rationale, methods, outcomes and interpretation / Эволюция метаморфизма и комплексный анализ террейнов Восточного Йилгарнского кратона: обоснование, методы, результаты

The EYCMP is a world-class gold and nickel mineral province that is reaching exploration maturity with a diminishing number of significant new finds. Effective mineral exploration is contingent on robust tectonic frameworks and knowledge of palaeo-tectonic settings (Goldfarb et al., 2001, 2005; Bierlein et al., 2002). The pmd*CRC Y1, Y2, Y3 and the current Y4 programs on the Eastern Yilgarn Craton (EYC) were established to drive geological research in the region with the aim of original new insights and models that will both aid and stimulate new approaches to mineral exploration in the region. <...>
