The intrusions of the Eastern Goldfields felsic, or alkaline, suite (Jaques et al. 1985) are distributed over an area of c. 800 km by nearly 100 km located on the Yilgarn Block and include c. 35 occurrences (Libby 1989).

Most of the intrusions are small, generally less than 10km² (Smithies & Champion 1999) and irregular in shape, with some steeply dipping narrow sheets.
