One of the principal drivers for AGSO's research in the Pilbara was the possible inapplicability of exploration models and genetic interpretations of Archaean mineral deposits because these models were commonly based upon late Archaean examples. One of our goals was to document the differences between the late Archaean and the early-mid Archaean mineral systems, and to develop regional thematic synthesis datasets so that more robust models could be developed to encompass the entire Archaean era. These datasets, together with our research into new exploration tools, have, and continue to assist exploration in the Pilbara. Our results also have applications to other terranes. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[116.0, -23.0], [121.0, -23.0], [121.0, -20.0], [116.0, -20.0], [116.0, -23.0]]]} 116.0 121.0 -23.0 -20.0 AU-WA Earth Sciences GA Publication Published_External Research Newslttr Paper economic geology marine Download the file (pdf) documentDigital Download the file (pdf) PDF Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
