Young porphyries, old zircons: new constraints on the timing of deformation and gold mineralisation in the Eastern Goldfields from SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating at the Kanowna Belle Gold Mine, Western Australia

Young porphyries, old zircons: new constraints on the timing of deformation and gold mineralisation in the Eastern Goldfields from SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating at the Kanowna Belle Gold Mine, Western Australia

The Kanowna Belle Gold Mine is a Late Archaean orogenic lode-gold deposit hosted by felsic volcaniclastic and intrusive rocks (porphyries) of the Kalgoorlie Terrane, Western Australia. Rare gold occurs in fragments of veins and alteration that form clasts within the Black Flag Group volcaniclastic r...
