The DGGB consists of a volcano-sedimentary assemblage intruded by TTGs and diorites.
A volcano-sedimentary assemblage represents a fore-arc subduction-accretion complex.
Amphibolites formed in a fore-arc setting and yield a 2.5 Ga metamorphism age.
TTGs and diorites formed in an arc-related setting and yield a 2.5 Ga intrusion age.
A 2.5 Ga subduction-accretion-collision event is proposed in the Southern NCC.
