WEST AFRICAN EXPLORATION INITIATIVE

WAXI 4 aims at furthering the work from the earlier stages of the WAXI program to unravel the making of mineral systems not only in the Birimian terranes, but also in the neighbouring Archean, Pan-African Meso-Proterozoic and Phanerozoic basins. The key overarching philosophy will be to characterise and evaluate the role of both the lithospheric and crustal architecture on the development of mineral systems through time. Just as the Archean may provide insights into the early architecture of the Birimian; we can study the Pan-African in the context of how Birimian systems.
