Tectonic implications

• Yeneena Basin and Paterson Orogen rocks likely widespread beneath

Canning Basin as far north as Fenton Fault

– as suggested by the Canning Coastal passive seismic survey

• Mafic intrusions c. 826 Ma in Frankenstein 1 may be most northern

extension of Willouran LIP

• Granitic intrusions of c. 650 Ma extend at least 300 km north of

outcrops, close to Fenton Fault

– potential for Telfer-like Au deposits elsewhere in the orogen

• Felsic igneous rocks of Cambrian age overlap with age and

distribution of the Kalkarindji LIP
