Multi‐Stage Evolution of the South Australian Craton: Petrological Constraints on the Architecture, Lithology, and Geochemistry of the Lithospheric Mantle

“…The sub‐continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) underlying the South Australian Craton has received considerable research interest over the past decade due to its potential role in formation of the world‐class iron‐oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits (Curtis & Thiel, 2019; Pollett et al., 2019; Skirrow et al., 2018; Wade et al., 2019). Recent studies have utilized regional and continental‐scale magnetotelluric and seismic tomography data sets acquired under the Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP) survey of Australia (https://www.ga.gov.au/about/projects/resources/auslamp).…”

“…Recent studies have utilized regional and continental‐scale magnetotelluric and seismic tomography data sets acquired under the Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP) survey of Australia (https://www.ga.gov.au/about/projects/resources/auslamp). These data sets have been used to delineate complex lithospheric and terrane boundaries (Curtis & Thiel, 2019; Pollett et al., 2019; Robertson et al., 2016), and identify conductive bodies within the SCLM (Skirrow et al., 2018; Thiel and Heinson, 2013). The margins above the mantle lithosphere with anomalously high electrical conductivities, low shear‐wave ( V s ) velocities, and high ratios of compressional‐ to shear‐wave velocities ( V p / V s ) have received the greatest exploration and research interest because they are spatially related to IOCG deposits (Skirrow et al., 2018).…”
