Cooperite, or platinum sulfide (PtS), is a rare mineral that generally exists as microscale,
irregularly shaped crystallites. The presence of impurities, in both naturally occurring and …

The ultramafic rocks of the Herbeira Massif in the Cabo Ortegal Complex (NW Iberia) host
chromitite bodies. The textural and compositional study of the host rocks and the chromitites …

The Keivitsansarvi deposit, in northern Finland, is a low-grade dissemination of Ni–Cu
sulfides containing 1.3–26.6 g/t PGE. It occurs in the northeastern part of the 2.05 Ga …

The chromitites of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa contain vast resources of platinum-
group elements (PGE); however, except for the economic upper group (UG)-2 chromitite …

Drill cores from the newly discovered Baronskoe-Kluevsky Pd–Au deposit (Volkovsky
massif, Central Urals) have been investigated by reflected-light and electron microscopy …

The Pindos ophiolite complex, located in the northwestern part of continental Greece, hosts
various chromite deposits of both metallurgical (high-Cr) and refractory (high-Al) type. The …

Five placer grains of Pt–Fe alloy, ca. 0.5 to 2 mm, roundish in shape, and hitherto
unconfirmed from this locality, were recovered from a placer deposit in Burwash Creek …

The behavior of Pt was studied in the Pt-Fe-S-Cl-H 2 O, Pt-Fe (Ni)-As-S-Cl-H 2 O, and Pt-Ni-
As-Cl-H 2 O systems. Kinetic experiments showed that the addition of As and S to the system …

The identification of minerals that occur as tiny and rare phases such as most of the natural
platinum group minerals (PGM) is a challenging target. The main reason for that resides in …

ABSTRACT The upper Neoproterozoic Mechanic Settlement Pluton, located in the Avalon
terrane, southern New Brunswick, Canada, consists of alternating lenses of ultramafic …
