  abstract = {{I}nterpretation of airborne geophysical data integrated with field structural and lithological observation was successfully employed in the creation of the litho-structural framework in a poorly exposed {P}aleoproterozoic granite-greenstone terrain of the {W}est {A}frican {C}raton. {T}he geophysical data portray with sufficient detail all of the lithological units and structural features present. {T}he results suggest that the granitoid domains are formed by numerous small to medium-sized plutons. {T}he existence of several generations of magmatic episodes has a significant impact on the development of a regional tectonic model. {T}he magnetic data provided a better definition of the actual pluton shapes and several highly magnetic late-orogenic plutons were reliably identified. {R}elic {F}1 fold hinges were recognized in the {H}ounde and {B}oromo greenstone belts. {T}he {D}1 penetrative structures are generally affected by the {D}2 transcurrent shear zones, which often form as well the granite-greenstone belt boundaries. {P}reviously unreported {S}2 shear zones including the {B}ossie shear zone, transecting the {S}ideradougou granitoid domain and abundant small-scale shear zones affecting all of the lithologies represent prospective areas for gold exploration. {A}irborne gamma-ray spectrometry data aided in the mapping process in areas with less regolith cover including erosional ridges and parts of the {B}anfora greenstone belt. {T}he magnetic data revealed at least three generations of doleritic dykes crosscutting the western {B}urkina {F}aso.},
