Niquelândia (Codemin)
Goiás, Brazil (Central-West ultramafic complexes), Brazil
OtherNi (ferronickel)
- Type
- Nickel laterite on ultramafic rock (garnierite saprolite)
Nickel laterites on serpentinites, mined in open pits (Anglo American and Votorantim) and smelted on site into ferronickel. Saprolite from -0.61 to +0.32 ‰ and laterite from 0.00 to +0.13 ‰ (Ratié et al., 2015). Indicative coordinates.
