The gold-endowed Larder Lake Cadillac deformation zone (LLCDZ) in the Abitibi greenstone belt of the Archean Superior Province generally trends east but swings to the southeast along the Malartic segment in Quebec. Immediately north of the LLCDZ along this segment, deformation of the less than ca. 2687 Ma metasedimentary Cadillac Group began with the formation of isoclinal [F.sub.1] folds, which are overprinted by post-2676 [+ ou -] 2.0 Ma regional [F.sub.2] folds with an axial planar [S.sub.2] cleavage oriented parallel to the trend of the Malartic segment. Auriferous quartz veins strike east-west (085[degrees]) anticlockwise to bedding and [S.sub.2]. They are folded into sigmoidal S-shaped folds due to sinistral shear parallel to bedding. Later dextral shearing segmented the veins and folded the [F.sub.2] folds into Z-shaped [F.sub.3] folds. The veins are similar in structural chronology, fluid isotopic composition (calculated [Please download the PDF to view the formula] value between-9.5[per thousand] and-3.4[per thousand] and [Please download the PDF to view the formula] values of 12[per thousand]), and isotopic re-equilibration temperatures (469 and 498 [degrees]C, quartz-biotite oxygen thermometer) to the veins at the nearby Canadian Malartic deposit to the east. They possess comparable Au-As-Sb association and sericite-arsenopyrite alteration halo, as other Cadillac-Group-hosted veins at the Lapa mine to the west. Collectively, they constitute a vein field that extends across the entire length of the Malartic segment. Contrary to recent interpretations of the Malartic segment as an early accretionary structure that controlled the emplacement of gold deposits, its southeast trend is interpreted as the short limb of a broad Z-shaped flexure that formed during later [F.sub.3] folding of the LLCDZ. Key words: gold deposit, Malartic, Cadillac goup, Larder Lake Cadillac deformation Zone, Abitibi greenstone belt La zone de déformation aurifère de Larder Lake Cadillac (ZDLLC) dans la ceinture de roches vertes de l'Abitibi de la province archéenne du Supérieur s'étend généralement d'ouest en est, mais bifurque vers le sud-est le long de son tronçon de Malartic, au Québec. Immédiatement au nord de la ZDLLC le long de ce tronçon, la déformation du Groupe métasédimentaire de Cadillac, de < 2687 Ma environ, a commencé avec la formation de plis isoclinaux [F.sub.1], sur lesquels se sont surimposés, après 2676 [+ ou -] 2,0 Ma, des plis régionaux [F.sub.2] associés à un clivage de plan axial [S.sub.2] de direction parallèle à l'orientation du tronçon de Malartic. Des filons de quartz aurifères sont orientés est-ouest (085[degrees]), antihoraires par rapport au litage et à [S.sub.2]. Ils sont déformés en des plis sigmoïdaux en S résultant d'un cisaillement senestre parallèle au litage. Un cisaillement dextre subséquent a segmenté les filons et replié les plis [F.sub.2] en des plis [F.sub.3] en Z. Les filons sont semblables sur le plan de la chronologie structurale, de la composition isotopique des fluides (valeur calculée de [Please download the PDF to view the formula] de-9,5 à-3,4 [per thousand] et valeurs de [Please download the PDF to view the formula] de 12 [per thousand]) et des températures de rééquilibration isotopique (469 et 498 [degrees]C, thermomètre basé sur l'oxygène dans le quartz et la biotite) aux filons dans le gisement Canadian Malartic non loin à l'est. Ils présentent une association Au-As-Sb et un halo d'altération à séricite-arsénopyrite semblables à d'autres filons dans le Groupe de Cadillac observés à la mine Lapa à l'ouest. Collectivement, ils constituent un champ filonien qui s'étend sur toute la longueur du tronçon de Malartic. Contrairement à des interprétations récentes du tronçon de Malartic comme étant une structure accrétionnaire précoce ayant contrôlé la mise en place de gisements aurifères, son orientation sud-est nous amène à l'interpréter comme étant le flan court d'une large flexure en Z qui s'est formée durant le plissement [F.sub.3] tardif de la ZDLLC.

Some of the world's largest orogenic gold deposits are hosted within granite-greenstone subprovinces of the Superior Province of Canada. The known gold endowment of the western Wabigoon subprovince is much less than that of the Abitibi subprovince, despite both Neoarchean subprovinces sharing similar structural and metallogenic histories. Further, the relationship between regional deformation and orogenic gold mineralizing events in the western Wabigoon subprovince is poorly constrained in comparison with other greenstone belts within the Superior Province. New structural mapping of the Dryden area of the western Wabigoon subprovince indicates that it experienced a N-S shortening event ([D.sub.1]), circa 2705-2695 Ma, which reactivated, or initiated the formation of, the E-W-trending Wabigoon and Mosher Bay - Washeibemaga deformation zones (Wdz and MBWdz, respectively). Following the [D.sub.1] event, after 2695 Ma, a protracted period of NNW-SSE shortening ([D.sub.2]) localized transpression along the Manitou Dinorwic deformation zone (MDdz), which is spatially associated with orogenic gold systems, including the Goldlund deposit (~1.7 Moz Au) and Kenwest prospect (~0.3 Moz Au). During [D.sub.2], the MDdz experienced NW-over-SE sinistral transpression, while the Wdz and MBWdz experienced N-over-S dextral-sense movement. U-Pb geochronology of vein-hosted xenotime from the Goldlund deposit and Kenwest prospect indicate that the main hydrothermal event, and likely gold mineralization, occurred syn- to late-[D.sub.2] deformation around 2664 [+ or -] 8.3 Ma. A second population of xenotime, and overgrowths, recorded a younger hydrothermal overprint between ~2590 and ~2580 Ma. These ages are comparable with other absolute geochronology data on hydrothermal events in the gold-rich Abitibi subprovince. The structural evolution and timing of orogenic hydrothermal events in the western Wabigoon subprovince are broadly similar to the Abitibi subprovince. Therefore, we propose that the structural evolution and timing of individual greenstone belts is not the primary controlling factor on their bulk gold endowment. Nevertheless, orogenic gold deposits are spatially associated with major [D.sub.2] deformation zones and linked to widespread hydrothermal event(s), spanning 2680-2660 Ma across the southern Superior Province. Key words: Archean greenstone belts, crustal-scale shear zones, dating ore, phosphate geochronology. Certains des plus grands gisements auriferes orogeniques du monde se trouvent dans des sous-provinces a granites et roches vertes de la province du Superieur du Canada. La quantite d'or etablie dans l'ouest de la sous-province de Wabigoon est bien moindre que dans la sous-province de lAbitibi, bien que ces deux sous-provinces neo-archeennes aient des histoires structurales et metallogeniques semblables. En outre, la relation entre la deformation regionale et les episodes de mineralisation aurifere orogenique dans l'ouest de la sous-province de Wabigoon n'est pas bien etablie comparativement a d'autres ceintures de roches vertes dans la province du Superieur. Une nouvelle cartographie structurale de la region de Dryden dans l'ouest de la sous-province de Wabigoon indique que cette derniere a subi un episode de raccourcissement N-S ([D.sub.1]) vers 2705-2695 Ma qui a reactive ou initie la formation des zones de deformation d'orientation E- O de Wabigoon et de Mosher Bay - Washeibemaga (Wdz et MBWdz, respectivement). Dans la foulee de l' episode [D.sub.1], apres 2695 Ma, une periode de raccourcissement NNO-SSE prolongee ([D.sub.2]) a localise une transpression le long de la zone de deformation de Manitou Dinorwic (MDdz), associee dans l'espace a des systemes auriferes orogeniques, dont le gisement Goldlund (~1,7 Moz Au) et la zone d'interêt Kenwest (~0,3 Moz Au). Durant [D.sub.2], la MDdz a subi une transpression senestre du NO sur le SE, alors que les Wdz et MBWdz ont ete marquees par un deplacement dextre du N sur le S. La geochronologie U-Pb sur xenotime issu de filons du gisement Goldlund et de la zone d'interêt Kenwest indique que l'episode hydrothermal principal et, vraisemblablement, la mineralisation aurifere ont eu lieu syn- a tardi-[D.sub.2], vers 2664 [+ or -] 8,3 Ma. Une seconde population de xenotime et des surcroissances temoignent d'un episode hydrothermal surimpose plus jeune, de ~2590 Ma a ~2580 Ma. Ces âges sont semblables a d'autres âges geochronologiques absolus d'episodes hydrothermaux dans la sousprovince aurifere de lAbitibi. L' evolution structurale et la chronologie des episodes hydrothermaux orogeniques dans l'ouest de la sous-province de Wabigoon sont generalement semblables a celles de la sous-province de lAbitibi. Nous proposons donc que l'evolution structurale et la chronologie des differentes ceintures de roches vertes ne constituent pas le principal facteur ayant module la quantite d'or qu'elles renferment. Quoi qu'il en soit, les gisements auriferes orogeniques sont associes dans l'espace a de grandes zones de deformation [D.sub.2] et sont relies a des episodes hydrothermaux allant de 2680 Ma a 2660 Ma qui sont repandus dans le sud de la province du Superieur.

Mafic dykes ,West African Craton ,Airborne magnetics ,Dyke swarms - Abstract
Studies of mafic dyke swarms may simultaneously provide information on the mechanical, geochemical, geochronological and magnetic environments at the time of their formation. The mafic intrusive history of different cratons can also be potentially used to unravel their assembly into their current configuration. The identification and classification of dykes is a first step to all these studies. Fortunately, even in regions with poor outcrop, we can use the strong magnetic response of mafic dykes to identify and map their extent. In West Africa the first maps of mafic dyke distribution were made over 40 years ago, but there are still large areas where there are almost no published data. In this paper we present a significantly updated map of mafic dykes for the West Africa Craton based in large part on new interpretations of the regional airborne magnetic database. This map includes the locations of over three thousand dykes across the craton, which locally shows several orientation clusters that provide a minimum estimate for the total number of dyke swarms in this region. Whilst we will have to wait until systematic dating of the different swarms is completed, we can demonstrate that there is a long and complex history of mafic magmatism across the craton, with up to 26 distinct dyke swarms mapped based according to their orientation. The mapping and dating of these swarms will provide key constraints on the assembly of the fragments that make up the modern continents.

The process of building a 3D model necessitates the reconciliation of field observations, geophysical interpretation, geological data uncertainty and the prevailing tectonic evolution hypotheses and interpretations. Uncertainty is compounded when clustered data points collected at local scales are statistically upscaled to one or two points for use in regional models. Interpretation is required to interpolate between sparse field data points using ambiguous geophysical data in covered terranes. It becomes clear that multiple interpretations are possible during model construction. The various interpretations are considered as potential natural representatives, but pragmatism typically dictates that just a single interpretation is offered by the modelling process. Uncertainties are introduced into the 3D model during construction from a variety of sources and through data set optimisation that produces a single model. Practices such as these are likely to result in a model that does not adequately represent the target geology. A set of geometrical 'geodiversity' metrics are used to analyse a 3D model of the Gippsland Basin, southeastern Australia after perturbing geological input data via uncertainty simulation. The resulting sets of perturbed geological observations are used to calculate a suite of geological 3D models that display a range of geological architectures. The concept of biodiversity has been adapted for the geosciences to quantify geometric variability, or geodiversity, between models in order to understand the effect uncertainty has models geometry. Various geometrical relationships (depth, volume, contact surface area, curvature and geological complexity) are used to describe the range of possibilities exhibited throughout the model suite. End-member models geodiversity metrics are classified in a similar manner to taxonomic descriptions. Further analysis of the model suite is performed using principal component analysis (PCA) to determine important geometrical characteristics. The configuration of the model space is determined through identifying 'outlier' model examples, which potentially represent undiscovered model 'species'.

Birimian ,Eburnean ,Mineralisation ,Paleoproterozoic ,Ghana - Abstract
Integration of regional geophysical datasets and detailed field observations provide new insights into the paleoproterozoic structural evolution of southwestern Ghana. The study area is dominated by three metavolcanic and metasedimentary packages known as the Sefwi Group, the Kumasi Group (Birimian) and the Tarkwa Group (Tarkwaian) that were intruded by abundant TTG granitoids during the Eoeburnean and Eburnean phases of an event termed the "Eburnean Orogeny". This study identifies an Eoeburnean (pre-Tarkwaian) deformation event (D1) that produced significant deformation in the Sefwi Group metavolcanics. D1 is associated with N-S shortening manifested as regional scale folding in the southern Ashanti Belt. D1 synorogenic granitoids were intruded between 2187 Ma and 2158 Ma under greenschist metamorphic condition. Syn-D1 gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining could be the original source of Tarkwaian paleo-placers and/or remobilised gold concentrations along major shear zones. D2 represents an extensional phase associated with the Kumasi Group sedimentation (2154-2125 Ma) which could be related to activation of major structures such as the Ashanti Fault as low angle detachments that controlled the deposition of the Kumasi Group and the opening of the Kumasi and Akyem Basin. The Tarkwa Group (2107-2097 Ma) unconformably overlies the Birimian Supergroups and was deposited in response to D3 shortening. D3 resulted in the inversion of syn-D2 detachments faults within the Ashanti Belt. NW-SE D3 shortening produced regional scale folding within the Birimian and the Tarkwaian metasediments. D4 deformation corresponds with sinistral reactivation of D3 thrust faults, and is locally associated with macro-scale folding at Obuasi and Wassa gold mines. By the end of D4, the regional scale architecture was built and was only slightly modified by the two last events. D5 postdates the Eburnean metamorphic peak and corresponds to open recumbent folds associated with a subhorizontal crenulation cleavage. D6 is present as a subvertical crenulation cleavage and reverse faults associated with NE-SW shortening.

- Abstract
The geoscientific data presented in this paper are a foundation for experimental and exploration geological research in the western Wabigoon and southern Abitibi subprovinces of the Superior Province in Ontario, Canada. New geological interpretations, in map and GIS formats, along with compiled mineral deposit information, structural databases, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and reprocessed aeromagnetic grids have been integrated to provide a basis for comparative studies between the two geologically similar yet economically disparate greenstone belts near Dryden and Timmins, Ontario, Canada. Data were acquired from a wide range of publicly sourced data releases and enhanced through the addition of new observations. New geological maps presented for both regions represent the culmination of integrating the multi-disciplinary geoscientific database and recent geological interpretation. Data contained within this publication are co-submitted with Montsion et al.
