Granite-greenstone terranes

Prolific mesothermal Au deposits in sheared and altered host-rocks of granite-greenstone terranes... 

Some of the extensional basins from which granite-greenstone terranes evolved may well have occurred in an intraplate setting (e.g. analogues to the Keweenawan rift). Attempts to...

The Zimbabwe Craton in southern Africa is composed of 26 greenstone belts that constitute about 20% of the craton, and granite-gneiss complexes that make up the remainder (Fig. la, Blenkinsop et al. 1997). These granite-greenstone terranes...
