 The Ultimate Kanowna - American History Information Guide and Reference
Kanowna is a ghost town in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.
It is located at 30°37'S 121°36'E, about 20km east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
Increasing gold prices in the late 1970s sparked renewed interest in exploring the geology of the area for new sources of gold, and the discovery of a large amount of gold, previously undiscovered because the vein did not reach the surface, made gold mining in the region economically viable again.

 Regional seismic reflection profiling, Kalgoorlie goldfield, Western Australia
Seismic reflection profiling recorded in the Kalgoorlie region of Western Australia has imaged the structure of the Archaean supracrustal greenstones, the detachment between these supracrustal greenstones and the underlying strongly reflective felsic crust and the geometric relationships of the various mapped fault systems.
The east side of the Scotia Kanowna Dome is imaged as a series of west-directed greenstone thrust slices which sole into the basal detachment, while the western side consists of similar greenstone slices but thrusted towards the east, and lying structurally below the west-directed thrust wedges.
The Scotia Kanowna Dome is therefore a number of thrust duplexes, thrust from both the east and west, rather than a broad folding of coherent stratigraphy across the whole of the dome.
