Abstract
New geochronological data combined with existing data suggest that the Neoproterozoic period in Australia was reasonably well mineralised, with two major periods of mineralisation: (1) 850-800 Ma sediment-hosted Cu, unconformity U, and diamond deposits, and (2) 650-630 Ma epigenetic Au-Cu deposits. The early period appears to be associated with extension related to initiation of Rodinia break-up, whereas the geodynamic setting of the latter, more restricted, event is unclear.
