Tectonostratigraphic architecture and uplift history of the Eastern Yilgarn Craton

Geoscience Australia Record 2007/15

Summary

This Geoscience Australia Record is a public domain release of the Module 3 structural study from the Predictive Mineral Discovery Co-Operative Research Centre (pmd*CRC) and AMIRA (Australian Mineral Industry Research Association) Y1-P763 project which concluded in November 2005. An 18 month confidentiality period applied to this work but the resulting report is now able to be released.

Research into the structural evolution of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (EGST) continued in allied projects (Y2 and Y4) as part of the pmd*CRC program. The Y2 project Final Report was released to the public as Geoscience Australia Record 2006/05. As of July 2007, the active Y4 pmd*CRC project has been continuing the work from the Y1-P763 and Y2 projects. Therefore, some interpretations of the structure of the EGST presented in Geoscience Australia Record 2007/15 have changed. One of the enduring assets of the original Y1-P763 Final Report is the very extensive data preserved in the appendices, which, due to their size, are available only on DVD. The philosophy behind the Y1-P763 report was to clearly separate data from interpretation, a move which has aided continuous improvement in the understanding of the structural evolution of the EGST.
