Collision-related granitic magmatism in the Granites–Tanami Orogen, Western Australia

The Palaeoproterozoic Granites–Tanami Orogen (GTO) is a significant auriferous province located in the poorly exposed southwestern part of the North Australian Craton (NAC). U-Pb data from Sensitive High Mass Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) studies, Sm–Nd isotopic data, geochemistry and petrological studies all suggest that granitic rocks in the Western Australian portion of the GTO were emplaced around ca. 1795 Ma broadly synchronous with...
