Duane, M.J. and Kruger, F.J. (1991). Geochronological evidence for tectonically driven brine migration during the Early Proterozoic Kheis Orogeny of southern Africa. Geophysical Research Letters 18: doi: 10.1029/91GL00917. issn: 0094-8276.

The 2.1--1.9 Ga Kheis orogeny on the western margin of the Kaapvaal Craton of Southern Africa induced regional heating, tilting and extensive fluid flow which isotopically reset and altered rocks and minerals of older Proterozoic formations and parts of the Archean cratonic basement. This tectonic event is recognised in the Ar, Rb-Sr, Pb-Pb and U-Pb (zircon) geochronological and Palaemagnetic studies on the Transvaal and underlying basement rocks. ¿American Geophysical Union 1991
