- Economic Mineral Deposits In Precambrian Basement Complex
The Precambrian crystalline hard rock (i.e., plutonic and metamorphic rocks) that forms continental basement covers roughly 20% of the Earth's surface [51] almost 30% of India's terrain. The examined case is an over-exploited aquifer in Archaean crystalline hard rock consists of granite, gneiss and schists (Fig. 2 a).The area mainly consists of rock types …

It has been established that the Precambrian basement complex of Nigeria including Southwestern Nigeria is polycyclic in nature, (Ajibade and Fitches 1988). The southwestern Nigeria basement complex had undergone 4 major orogenesis in:- i. Liberian (Archaean) 2500Ma-2750± 25Ma ii. The Eburnean orogeny (Early Proterozoic), 2000Ma-2500Ma iii.

One of these, near Lake St. Martin, Manitoba (LSMS, Fig. 5.1), brings Precambrian basement to the surface in an arcuate pattern (Manitoba Mineral Resources Division, 1979). Shocked granite at this site, with a 2387 Ma K-Ar biotite age, is inferred to be part of a meteorite impact ring structure (McCabe and Bannatyne, 1970).
