Rocks and ore of PGE-bearing Vuruchuaivench massif (Kola Peninsula, Russia)
The Vuruchuaivench massif is part of the Monchegorsk pluton and located in center of Kola Peninsula. The massif is known for its PGE mineralization with an average of 2-2.5 ppm PGE, samples containing 19 ppm are also found. Main rocks of massif – metasomatized gabbronorites and anortosites.
