Diversity of the Palaeoproterozoic granitoids of the Kédougou inlier (eastern Sénégal): Petrographical and geochemical constraints

Geology and geochemistry of the shear-hosted Julie gold deposit, NW Ghana

“…5g). It can thus be concluded that the Julie TTG have relative common geochemical characteristics, similar to those of many plutons within the West African Craton that were emplaced during the Eburnean Orogeny (Doumbia et al, 1998;Gasquet et al, 2003;Dioh et al, 2006).…”

Intrusive rocks and tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Mako Paleoproterozoic belt (Eastern Senegal, West Africa)

“…The middle part of the Kakadian batholith was mapped in detail and renamed by Dia (1988), Dia et al (1997), Dioh (1995) and Dioh et al (2006), as being composed of volcanic xenoliths, metamorphic and plutonic complexes. Systematic geological mapping supported by geochronological, isotopic, and geochemical data Dia, 1988) has led to the characterization of the Sandikounda Amphibologneisse Complex SAG and the Sandikounda Layered Plutonic Complex (SLPC) (Fig.…”

Gold metallogeny in the Birimian craton of Burkina Faso (West Africa)

“…1). The Birimian terranes, which make up the Baoulé-Mossi domain and the Kédougou inlier, consist of narrow sedimentary basins and linear to arcuate volcanic belts intruded by several generations of granitoids (Leube et al, 1990;Doumbia et al, 1998;Gasquet et al, 2003;Dioh et al, 2006). They correspond to a period of accretion during the Eburnean orogeny around 2.0 Ga (Abouchami et al, 1990;Boher et al, 1992;Taylor et al, 1992).…”
