Unraveling the polyphased nature of gold mineralisation in orogenic gold deposits: A study of the high-grade Jundee-Bogada gold camp (Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia)

This thesis aims to elucidate the role of polyphase gold events in the development of orogenic gold deposits, with a special emphasis on high-grade gold mineralisation. Our research focuses on the~10 Moz Neoarchean Jundee-Bogada gold camp, Yilgarn Craton (Western Australia) to accomplish this goal. The detailed investigation into gold mineralisation processes undertaken in this thesis reveals that these processes are polyphase from the craton to grain scale. The implications of our findings extend beyond the Jundee-Bogada gold camp and indicate that the polyphased formation of gold mineralisation is an inherent feature of Precambrian orogenic gold deposits worldwide.
