The geology and geochemistry of the archaean granite-greenstone terrane between Nelspruit and Bushbuckridge, Eastern Transvaal

Abstract

This study is concerned with an examination of the geology and geochemistry of the granitic terrane in the area between Nelspruit and Bushbuckrldge, in the eastern Transvaal This area, covering some 2500km2 , was mapped on a scale of 1:30 000 as well as being extensively sampled for the geochemical aspect of the study. In addition, the Barclay Vale Schist Belt, £ small greenstone remnant occurring in the south western corner of the study area, was also mapped, on a scale of 1:10 000.
