The massive Norilsk ore body & P-T mass extinction – Discovery to Recovery [Podcast]
The Discovery to Recovery podcast is produced by the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG), bringing you geoscience and technology stories from the world of ore deposits. Season 2 sponsored by Goldspot Discoveries. Margaux was interviewed by Anne Thompson on the recognition of ‘drobbles’ – the coalescence of vapor and sulfides in the formation of magmatic sulfide ores and the role of gases in the formation of Norilsk massive Ni deposit, with implications for the Permian-Triassic extinction event.

Magmatic sulfide deposits have arguably the most quantified deposit model, but what are the game changers in our understanding? Despite a decades old foundational model for their formation, what is new and what should be considered in the search for new resources? This episode checks in with an expert in magmatic sulfides engaged in the global pursuit as well as those researching emerging ideas that shed new light on the model, including some which have implications for exploration.
