The Tectonics, Architecture and Metallogeny of the Proterozoic of NE South America<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second stage of the Amira Global P1061B South American Exploration Initiative started on October 1st<\/sup> 2020 and is an integrated 3-year data gathering program that has been inspired by the highly successful West African Exploration Initiative<\/a> (WAXI, AMIRA Global<\/a> project series P934) and borrows some of its aims from other successful exploration programs that have led to new discoveries elsewhere in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Proterozoic Guiana Shield extends over five countries in north-eastern South America (Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, La Guyane (France) and Brazil) and represents the geological extension of the West African Craton. Between 2006 and 2010 the AMIRA P934 West African Exploration Initiative (WAXI) built up an extensive exploration database for West Africa that is now out of confidentiality. There is no publicly available equivalent database for the Guiana Shield and neighbouring terranes, and the aim of this project is to build a matching knowledge base that can be combined with the WAXI database to produce a seamless coverage for the two regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research Program<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The researchers have compiled data from the literature as well as visiting Universities and Geological Surveys from each of the countries that host the Guiana Shield, as some data will be hard to source externally. The overall aim of the South American Exploration Initiative is to enhance the exploration potential of the region through an integrated program of research and data gathering into its \u2018anatomy\u2019. Key motivations for undertaking this initiative are to assist exploration companies in focusing their activities in areas of maximum prospectivity and to help local Geological Surveys and Universities in the region in their role of providing pre-competitive data and information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, the research team aim to:<\/span><\/p>\n
