The origin of large platinum-group mineral (PGM) nuggets inside chromitite schlieren in some Ural-Alaskan type ultramafic complexes has been assigned to orthomagmatic processes. A promising phenomenon which may provide new insights into the processes responsible for PGE mineralization formation, or...
