7 Underexplored Region Geological Survey of WA Report, published Oct 2010 Key findings: Report underlines belief that Yamarna is a new gold region Yamarna Terrane greenstones are similar in age/character to Kalgoorlie Terrane (~2.6 Ba) Previously Yamarna thought to be younger and less prospective Exploration strategies effective for Kalgoorlie may prove best for Yamarna GSWA Terrane Map 6
