The purpose of this annual review is to provide all CET stakeholders in academe, industry and government with a snapshot of the centre at the end of 2011, and a glimpse of what CET is set to achieve in the near future.

The Agnew–Wiluna greenstone belt in the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia is a narrow package of complexly deformed Archean supracrustal rocks that hosts two of the world’s largest komatiite-hosted nickel sulfide deposits, the Mt Keith and Perseverance deposits. T...

Various lines of evidence lead to the proposal that the underlying key generic factor controlling accretionary orogen gold metallogeny is regional-scale, long-term, pre- and synsubduction heterogeneous fertilisation of the lithospheric mantle that becomes a source of mineralisa...

We present the results of two-dimensional numerical modelling experiments on the thermal evolution of Archean greenstones as they sink into a less dense, hot and weak felsic crust. We compare this thermal evolution to that obtained via the analysis of isotopic data and fluid in...

Current models for regional mineral exploration targeting emphasize the significance of major geological structures and the edges of cratonic blocks as areas of greatest prospectivity. The South Yilgarn MT dataset demonstrate that such features can be located based on vari...

Regional targeting criteria for gold in the Yilgarn Craton have been described and assessed using GIS spatial analysis, as part of the Yilgarn Gold Exploration Targeting Atlas, a collaborative project involving the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSW...

The objectives of the study were twofold: (1) a search for molecular markers diagnostic of treated waste waters; and (2) a comparison of the EFF organic characterisation merits of MSSVpy and Flash-py.

A new model of instability development in the lithosphere is presented whereby Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities are initiated as a result of heterogeneities in plastic strength within the lithosphere. Such a model does not depend on large initial variations in the thickness or den...
