Northern Australia preserves several discrete geological regions defined as both basins and provinces that were deposited between the late Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic. This study aims to provide a comparison of these different Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic successions, through the compilation and interpretation of existing available data and information. At the semi-continental scale, these insights can: 1) be used to assist with prospectivity studies, 2) assist with targeting future data acquisition, and 3) improve understanding of the tectonic processes of northern Australia in the late Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic.

Prepared for the Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference (AEGC) 2025
