The Chalice gold deposit (~ 20 t Au produced), in the southwestern portion of the Late-Archean Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt of the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, is hosted both in a sequence of intercalated mafic and ultramafic amphibolites and a post-peak metamorphism monzogranite dike. The deposit is flanked on the western side by calc-alkaline plutonic rocks, and to the east by a predominantly monzogranitic pluton, with at least four generations of monzogranitic dikes that intrude the local mine stratigraphy. Locally, four deformation events (D1–D4) have affected this sequence of amphibolites, and two stages of gold mineralisation are recognised, controlled by the progressive D2 event.
