Irregular distribution of major orogenic Au–quartz vein systems (> 1 tonne Au production) along the Boulder–Lefroy fault zone (B–L fault zone) transecting the Archean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia (after Groves et al. 2018). Listed in the boxes associated with each goldfield are estimates of the total Au-endowment for each field (top) from Guj et al. (2011) (based on a compilation from Barrick Gold), and the equivalent heights of 1 km2 columns of mineralizing fluid responsible for each field (bottom) assuming a Au/H2O transport solubility of 10 ppb (after Fig. 5 in Sibson 2020)
