  abstract = {{T}he southern part of the {W}est {A}frican {C}raton includes the {B}aoule-{M}ossi {D}omain, the world's premier {P}aleoproterozoic gold province (similar to 10,000 metric ton gold endowment). {S}tructural, metamorphic, and geochronological data suggest gold mineralisation occurred during three episodes that span much of the {E}oeburnean and {E}burnean orogenic cycles. {E}oeburnean orogenic and rare skarn-hosted gold deposits formed between ca. 2200 and 2135 {M}a during repeated episodes of volcanism, plutonism, and shortening, which thickened the {P}aleoproterozoic crust. {E}arly {E}burnean orogenic and placer gold deposits formed between ca. 2110 and 2095 {M}a during inversion, metamorphism, and subsequent oblique shortening of intra-orogenic basins filled after ca. 2135 {M}a. {T}his episode of mineralisation terminated when the {B}aoule-{M}ossi {D}omain docked with the {A}rchean {K}enema-{M}an {D}omain at ca. 2095 {M}a. {L}ate {E}burnean orogenic and less common intrusion-related gold deposits formed between ca. 2095 and 2060 {M}a during strike-slip to oblique-slip tectonics, post-collisional high-{K} plutonism and crustal reworking across the western and southern {B}aoule-{M}ossi {D}omain. {E}oeburnean gold deposits include ca. 10 % of the gold endowment of the {B}aoule-{M}ossi {D}omain, whereas the {E}arly {E}burnean and {L}ate {E}burnean deposits include ca. 50-70% and 20-40%, respectively. {H}ere, we highlight the favourable confluence of accretion-collision tectonics, involving juvenile crust formation as well as protracted magmatic, metamorphic, and deformation histories that resulted in diachronous gold events spread over at least 100 myr throughout the {B}aoule-{M}ossi {D}omain.},
