| Summary: | <!--!introduction!--> The mineral system concept considers the processes and large-scale controlling structures involved in the generation, emplacement and preservation of mineral deposits, not just the characterisation of individual near surface regions of economic potential. Archean cratonic environments such as the Canadian shield, Gawler Craton - Australia, and the Fennoscandian shield are home to some the world’s largest known mineral reserves typically along their margins. Despite a long history of study, the processes responsible for generation and emplacement of these large mineral rsources remain equivocal, however, what has become clear is that much larger regional scale geophysical imaging of Archean cratons is required to understanding these systems. Sub-continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) and crustal architecture which have traditionally been viewed as secondary considerations in understanding the distribution of major mineral deposits have recently been shown through the large scale ... : The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023) ... |
