New Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr, U-Pb and Hf isotope systematics for the southern Prince Charles Mountains (East Antarctica) and its tectonic implications

We also summarize published isotopic data and propose an integrated geological evolution for both terranes of the Ruker Province, discuss its relationships with the bordering Rayner Province, and compare its isotopic features with other Precambrian cratons of Gondwana. The key geological features of the Ruker Terrane suggest a similarity to the Yilgarn Craton, which would imply considerable mineral resource potential of the Prince Charles Mountains.
