Tectonics-mineralisation relationships within weak continental lithospheres: a new structural framework for Precambrian cratons

Many Archaean and Paleoproterozoic cratons show deformation patterns that differ from those observed in modern orogens. On the other hand, they constitute an important part of present-day emerged continents and contain a large part of continental mineral resources known to date. On the basis of a su...
