Magmatic Sulphide Deposits

Mafic magmatic intrusions are very important sources for the world’s nickel, chromium, and platinum group elements, and many also yield significant amounts of copper, cobalt and other important industrial and precious metals. Dr Taija Torvela investigates magmatic sulphide deposits, a key deposit type for nickel. We will also visit Aberdeen Minerals in Ellon, NE Scotland, to look at rocks and find out about exploration approaches for this deposit type.
