A large proportion of ores in magmatic sulfide deposits consist of mixtures of cumulus silicate minerals, sulfide liquid, and silicate melt, with characteristic textural relationships that …
Experimental studies on binary, ternary and quaternary Cu–Fe–Ni–S systems are fundamental for the investigation of magmatic sulfide deposits, the main source of Ni, Co …

The metal concentrations of sulfide liquids depend upon the mass of silicate magma that they are able to process for metals. Some high-grade magmatic Ni-Cu (±PGE) deposits and …
Large, layered intrusions throughout the world are characterized by a remarkable paucity in economically important magmatic Ni–Cu sulfide deposits. The Sudbury intrusion in Canada …

Abstract Magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposits form as the result of segregation and concentration of droplets of liquid sulfide from mafic or ultramafic magma, and the …
Abstract Magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide ores at Voisey's Bay contain complex assemblages of extremely heterogeneous rocks. These range from polymict breccias, with rock fragments in …

This chapter focuses on S in porphyry-type ore deposits, layered-mafic-intrusion-hosted ore bodies, and magmatic sulfide deposits. Porphyry-type ore deposits, eg, Bingham Canyon …
Pentlandite is the dominant Ni-hosting ore mineral in most magmatic sulfide deposits and has conventionally been interpreted as being entirely generated by solid-state exsolution …
Typical magmatic sulfides are dominated by pyrrhotite and pentlandite with minor chalcopyrite, and the bulk atomic Cu/Fe ratio of these sulfides is typically less than unity …
