- Type
- Magmatic Ni-Cu sulphides (mafic-ultramafic intrusions, country-rock contamination)
Large nickel deposit associated with about 1.4 Ga mafic-ultramafic intrusions hosted by mica schists and graphitic schists; mineralisation δ34S of +10 to +24 ‰, schist pyrrhotite of -2 to +24 ‰: magma contamination by country-rock sulphur (Maier et al., 2005, cited by Ripley and Li, 2007). Coordinates not given.
