Nickel is a metal that reflects the technological advances of the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries, emerging as critically important for stainless steel and a variety of specialty metal …

In a companion paper in this issue, the authors reviewed the properties of cobalt, its
mineralogy, and the processes that concentrate it to exploitable levels. Using this …

Abstract The Xiarihamu Ni deposit is located in the East Kunlun orogenic belt in the northern
part of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. The regional tectonic setting, lithology, and mineralogy …

Abstract The Huangshannan magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposit is one of a group of Permian
magmatic Ni-Cu deposits located in the southern Central Asian Orogenic belt in the Eastern …

Magmatic sulfide ore deposits are products of natural smelting: concentration of immiscible
sulfide liquid ('matte'), enriched in chalcophile elements, derived from silicate magmas …

Magmatic Ni–Cu–Co–platinum group element deposits are notoriously difficult exploration
targets owing to a lack of alteration haloes or other extended distal footprints. Success …

A large compilation of quality-curated major and trace element data has been assembled to
investigate how trace element patterns of mafic and ultramafic magmas have varied with …

Significant PGE and Cr mineralization occurs in a number of 2.44–2.50-Ga mafic layered
intrusions located across the Karelian and Kola cratons. The intrusions have been …

Abstract The Devonian subduction-related Heishan mafic-ultramafic intrusion hosting a
magmatic Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposit is situated at the southern margin of the Central Asian …

Organic matter assimilation-induced reduction is thought to play a critical role in the
formation of magmatic sulfide deposits if the parental magmas are too oxidized to form Ni-Cu …
