(a)
Geology of West-central Africa and northern Brazil in a Gondwana (pre-drift) reconstruction (modified from [25,42]. Dashed line boundary of Cameroon. Thick line, boundary of the two continents: (1) Phanerozoic cover; (2) Neoproterozoic formations; (3) Regions of Brasiliano/Pan-African deformation in which Paleoproterozoic basement is absent or only present as small isolated blocks; (4) Regions of Brasiliano/Pan-African deformation with large amounts of reworked Paleoproterozoic basement; (5) cratons; (6) faults.
(b)
Simplified geological map of Cameroon showing the main lithostratigraphic domains of the Neoproterozoic Pan-African orogenic belt, adapted from Soba [43] and Toteu et al. [41]. AYD, Adamawa Yadé Domain; KCF, Kribi-Campo fault; AF, Adamaoua fault; SF, Sanaga fault; TBF, Tcholliré-Banyo fault; CCSZ, Central Cameroon Shear Zone. Dashed line represents the assumed geophysical limit of the Congo craton after Toteu et al. [31].

Model of the post-collisional stage of the Central African Fold Belt and the Congo Craton. The upwelling asthenosphere supplied excessive heat to the lower crust, which melted crustal rocks to generate high-K calc-alkaline granitic magmas. After Asaah et al. [4]

General plan model of intrusion-related gold systems from the Tintina Gold Province. Note the wide range of mineralization styles and geochemical variations that vary predictably outward from a central pluton [64]
