Atlas of North Pilbara geology and geophysics: 1:1.5 million scale

The early to mid Archaean Pilbara Craton is one of the best exposed and

least dismembered granite/greenstone terrane in the world, and is an excellent study

area of early earth evolution. The Pilbara Craton records successive greenstone

sequences (>3515 Ma to 2950 Ma) deposited on a gneissic (tonalite-trondhjemitegranite)

crust (<3650 Ma) in a series of synclinal troughs that envelope large (> 100

km diameter) composite ovoid granitoid complexes (3650 Ma to 2850 Ma).

The mineral potential of the Pilbara Craton has been generally down played by

industry and the area has thus not received the intense exploration industry focus

seen in the Yilgarn Craton (especially the Neo-Archaean Eastern Goldfields) to the

south. The Pilbara Craton differs fundamentally from many other granite/greenstone

terranes in terms of its tectonic evolution and metallogenesis.
