The increasing number of rare earth elements (REEs) studies in the past decade has been
induced by their wider applications in industry, including electronics and high technology …

The Witwatersrand gold fields in South Africa, the world's largest gold-producing province,
play a pivotal role in the reconstruction of the Archaean atmosphere and hydrosphere. Past …

Porphyry deposits arguably represent the most economically important class of nonferrous
metallic mineral resources. These magmatic-hydrothermal deposits are characterized by …

The aim of this work is to constrain the provenance and depositional history of continental
slope sediments in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico (~ 1089–1785 m water depth). To …

Abstract Although REE (lanthanides+ Sc+ Y) mineralization in alkaline silicate systems is
commonly accompanied with Zr mineralization worldwide, our understanding of the …

Geochronological comparisons of large datasets are facilitated by the use of structured
databases. Data for the Precambrian of South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho and Botswana …

Abstract The Witwatersrand goldfields in South Africa have been, and promise to remain, the
world's largest goldproducing province, at leat for the medium-term future. The majority of …

We report eight new Pb-Pb baddeleyite ages and paleomagnetic results on a series of
hitherto unknown Neoarchean NNE-SSW trending mafic dyke swarms intruding the …

Tourmaline from 18 orogenic gold deposits and districts, hosted in varied country rocks and
metamorphic facies, was investigated by EPMA (electron probe micro-analyzer) and LA-ICP …

Rare earth element (REE) phosphates such as monazite and xenotime are important as ore
minerals, potential hosts of radioactive waste, and target phases for isotopic dating …
