Zircon U–Pb–Hf isotope data suggest mainly juvenile growth between 2.3 and 2.1 Ga.
Reworking of Archaean crust in southern Ghana is confined to between 2.141 and 2.126 Ga.
Combined isotope data suggest subduction related crustal growth.
Emplacement of 2.23 Ga granodiorite contradict suggested plume initiated subduction.
An evolutionary model is proposed.
