Layered intrusions in the Precambrian: Observations and perspectives [publication]

Abstract Layered intrusions are plutonic bodies of cumulates that form by the crystallization of mantle-derived melts. These intrusions are characterized […]

Petrogenesis and Ni–Cu–(PGE) prospectivity of the Mount Ayliff Complex in the Karoo Igneous Province: new insights from the Ingeli and Horseshoe lobes [publication]

The Mount Ayliff Complex comprises five cognate mafic-ultramafic bodies emplaced along the southern margin of the Kaapvaal Craton. This study […]

Sulfide and Fe-Ti-P liquid immiscibility in the Ni-Cu-Co ovoid deposit of the Voisey’s Bay complex [publication]

In the Voisey’s Bay complex, sulfide-matrix breccias developed through the percolation of dense sulfide melt, leading to the displacement of […]

A newly recognised mafic sill-hosted Ni-sulfide deposit in WA [publication]

The Cathedrals Ni-Cu prospect, located at the western margin of the Eastern Goldfields of the Yilgarn Craton, is hosted within […]

How useful is pyroxene for exploring for nickel? [publication]

Chromium-zoning patterns in pyroxene from the economically significant Ni-Cu sulfide deposits at Nova-Bollinger (Western Australia) and Kevitsa (Northern Finland) were […]

Transport and deposition of an olivine crystal cargo in the Moinui Flow, Hawai’i – [publication]

Lavas are commonly erupted carrying cargos of crystals that formed somewhere in the plumbing system beneath the volcano, and these […]

Role of volatiles in intrusion emplacement and sulfide deposition in the supergiant Norilsk-Talnakh Ni-Cu-PGE ore deposits [Publication]

We have recently published a new summary on the formation of the Supergiant Norilsk-Talnakh orebodies. Read the full publication here: […]

Exploration for intrusion-hosted magmatic Ni-Cu-Co using whole-rock geochemistry [publication]

Nickel, copper and cobalt are hot targets for today’s explorers. Demand is projected to rise and keep rising withthe expected […]
