Abstract

This report presents the findings of a study into the geology and prospectivity of the high-heat-producing (HHP) Wangala and Ennugan Mountains granites in the Palaeoproterozoic Aileron Province of the Northern Territory, Australia. HHP granites are characterised by enrichment in radiogenic elements K, U and Th. They are common in Australian Proterozoic basement terranes and are thought to be the main contributor to the high surface heat flow characteristic of these regions., This report presents the findings of a study into the geology and prospectivity of the high-heat-producing (HHP) Wangala and Ennugan Mountains granites in the Palaeoproterozoic Aileron Province of the Northern Territory, Australia.
