The use of magnetite as a geochemical indicator in the exploration for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide deposits: A case study from Munali, Zambia

LA Ward, DA Holwell, TL Barry, DE Blanks… - Journal of Geochemical …, 2018 - Elsevier
Magmatic sulfide deposits hosted by mafic-ultramafic intrusions are the most important
source of Ni and PGE on Earth. Exploration strategies rely on geophysics to identify the host
intrusions, and surface geochemistry to identify anomalous concentrations of Cu, Ni, Co, Cr,
As and other associated elements. The use of geochemical indicator minerals in overburden
is used widely in diamond exploration and mineral chemistry in fresh rock is increasingly
used to identify proxies for mineralisation in magmatic-hydrothermal systems. However, no …
