Description
Summary:Norilsk, the world largest Ni-Cu-PGE deposit, is unique among ultramafic-mafic associated igneous deposits, combining PGE and PGE-Cu-Ni sulphide deposits within a single intrusive body. The genesis of Norilsk is synchronous with the greatest mass extinction event in Earth history. It is also unique in having formed from magmas that were apparently de-gassing while the ore magmas were crystallising. We aim to build on results from a previous experiment to track the behaviour of precious metals and gold in relation to complex patterns of trace element zoning in silicate minerals growing inside gas bubbles. ...
