Zirconolite and xenotime U-Pb age constraints on the emplacement of the Golden Mile Dolerite silland gold mineralization at the Mt Charlotte mine, Eastern Goldfields Province, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia.

In situ SHRIMP U-Pb dating of magmatic zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) in the Golden Mile Dolerite from the Mt Charlotte gold deposit (Yilgarn Craton, Australia) has yielded the first robust emplacement age (2,680 9 Ma) for the principle host-rock of gold mineralization in the Kalgoorlie district. In contra...
