The Palaeoarchaean Barberton Greenstone Belt is host to some of the earliest known Au mineralisation (Anhaeusser 1976, 1986; de Ronde et al. 1991; Dziggel The Barberton Greenstone Belt is situated on the eastern edge of the Kaapvaal Craton in South Africa. It is known for its gold mineralisation and for its komatiites, an unusual type of ultramafic volcanic rock named after the Komati River that flows through the belt. Some of the oldest exposed rocks on Earth (greater than 3.6 Ga) are located in the Barberton Greenstone Belt of the Eswatini–BarbertBarberton Greenstone Belt
