For over a century, research has focused on the southern West African Craton (sWAC), aiming to unravel its lithological, geochemical, geochronological, structural, metamorphic, and metallogenic record. Yet, the late Siderian to early Rhyacian (c. 2350–2265 Ma) geodynamic setting of the sWAC remains poorly constrained due to (i) the unresolved(...)
