Among other things, it reviews evidence that the Sudbury magmas are of crustal origin and stops just short of telling us whether this crust was already enriched in Cu and Ni. The other paper, by Hayward et al., presents trace element evidence against significant mobility of Witwatersrand gold during the Vredefort impact event, and drives yet another nail in the coffin of the hydrothermal model.
