“…Previously, the major episode of Au mineralisation in the Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt (PWGB) of the Marymia Inlier ( Figure 1) was interpreted to have taken place at about the same time as elsewhere in the Yilgarn Craton, specifically the Eastern Goldfields (e.g., McMillan, 1996;Rowe, Awan, McCuaig, Sauter, & Vickery, 2002;Vickery, 2004). That interpretation was based on geochronological data from the Plutonic Gold Mine (Plutonic) and the wider Marymia Inlier (McMillan, 1996;Vickery, 2004;Vielreicher & McNaughton, 2002;Vielreicher, Ridley, & Groves, 2002), but included very little data that might specifically constrain the timing of Au mineralisation at Plutonic. Here we present fourteen Pb isotope model ages for pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite, and two new RbSr ages for muscovite and biotite, all from Au-bearing samples from Plutonic, as well as a Pb-Pb age for titanite from a late-stage chlorite vein.…”
