| Geology of the Sandstone - Lord Nelson Project |
|
|
The Sandstone Greenstone Belt (SSGB) is located at the northern end of the Southern Cross Province in the Archean Yilgarn Block of Western Australia. The belt is triangular in shape and has been interpreted as a north-plunging antiform, bounded on the east and west by two major trans-cratonic faults, the Edale and Youanmi faults respectively.
