The Archaean to Proterozoic igneous rocks of the Pilbara
Jun 01, 2019 The Pilbara Craton, an Archaean granite-and-greenstone complex exposed over 60,0000 km 2 of the northern Pilbara (Hickman, 1984), contains the oldest and best-exposed granite-and-greenstone terrane in Australia. The greenstones include metamorphosed basalt, sandstone, shale, chert, banded ironstones, and felsic volcanic rocks, as well as mafic ...

Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in
May 19, 2018 The Pilbara region is one of the most important mining hubs in Australia. It is also a region characterised by an extreme climate, featuring environmental assets of national significance, and considered a valued land by indigenous people. Given the arid conditions, surface water is scarce, shows large variability, and is an unreliable source of water for drinking and industrial/mining purposes.
