Systematic documentation of Archaean gold deposits of the Yilgarn block

Summary

The project was undertaken to provide systematic documentation of the gold deposits in the eastern part of the Yilgarn block of Western Australia, and its major output was complete data-sheets for 33 gold deposits in the Eastern Goldfields and Southern Cross.

These data sheets are available for purchase only through the Centre for Strategic Mineral Deposits of UWA, and Part 1 of report 193 provides a geological overview of these lode-gold type deposits and examples of controls on mineralization.
