| Abstract | Early to late Archaean (36002780 Ma) lithostratigraphy and structures in the north Pilbara granitegreenstone terrain are so well preserved over wide areas, despite locally intense deformation, that we can link the chronology of crustal/craton-scale events to episodes of mineralisation. Mineralising events coincided with the formation, deformation, and stabilisation of the Pilbara craton over its 800-Ma evolution, and with the subsequent initiation of the Hamersley Basin (~27802400 Ma). As a contribution to the joint AGSOGSWA (Geological Survey of Western Australia) North Pilbara project for the National Geoscience Mapping Accord, we discuss the tectonothermal and related mineralising events of the north Pilbara granitegreenstone terrain (Fig. 11). |
