Time–Space–Event ChartThe presence and correlation of the 30 identified Proterozoic mafic-ultramafic MagmaticEvents are represented across 28 provinces. Event names and ages, symbol colours, andprovinces (with informal names) are those of the 1:5 000 000 Map on Sheet 1. Horizontalcoloured bands indicate the presence of known Ni-PGE-Cr-V-Ti-(±Au-Cu-Ag) mineralisationwithin certain Magmatic Events, either in Australia or overseas. Time-equivalent magmatism in different provinces does not necessarily implycogenetic magmatism. Provinces are grouped as Major Crustal Elements according to the inset map below,adapted from Shaw et al. (1995) Australian Crustal Elements 1:5 000 000 map.
Distribution of Mineral Deposits and OccurrencesDeposits and occurrences of Ni-Cr-PGE-V-Ti mineralisation are overlain on a compositemap of Precambrian mafic-ultramafic magmatic rock units, major and minor. Both sulphideand laterite nickel deposits are shown. Data are from Geoscience Australia’s OZMINand MINLOC resource databases.
Proterozoic Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) Dashed lines indicate the geographic extent of five Magmatic Events distinguished asexceptionally large emplacements of dominantly mafic magma. Those shown on this mapare expressed only by time-equivalence of intrusion and extrusion: cogenetic magmatismacross crustal provinces is not necessarily implied. Colours and unit polygons are linked tothe 1:5 000 000 Map on Sheet 1, and to the Time–Space–Event Chart. The approximateeastern limit of Precambrian crustal elements is shown as the Tasman Line.Kalkarindji LIP: ME 30 ~520 Ma. Extensive preservation of basalt lavas acrossthe North Australian Craton and central Australia; intrusions in the Kimberley andIrindina provinces. Modified after Glass & Phillips (2006): Geology 34, 461–464.Gairdner LIP: ME 26 ~825 Ma. Gairdner Dyke Swarm of the South AustralianCraton and the Musgrave province; lavas in the basal stratigraphy of the Adelaide andAmadeus provinces; possible correlatives in the Paterson province. Modified after Zhaoet al. (1994): Earth and Planetary Science Letters 121, 349–367.Warakurna LIP: ME 24 ~1070 Ma. Time-equivalent magmatism in a belt that includesthe Musgrave province and crosses the West Australian Craton; dolerite dykes inthe southern margin of the North Australian Craton. Modified after Wingate et al.(2004): Geology 32, 105–108. Marnda Moorn LIP: ME 21 ~1210 Ma. Extensive coeval dolerite dyke swarms,with variable geometries of emplacement, intruding the Yilgarn and Pinjarra provinces.Modified after Wingate & Pidgeon (2005): http://www.largeigneousprovinces.org/05july.html Hart LIP: ME 10 ~1780 Ma. Dolerites and basalts within the Kimberley provincemodified after Tyler et al. (2006): http://www.largeigneousprovinces.org/06aug.html;possible extent encompasses time-equivalent magmatism in eight other provincesacross the West, North, and South Australian Cratons, and in central Australia.
