Ultramafic-mafic intrusions, volcanic rocks and PGE-Cu-Ni sulfide deposits of the Noril'sk Province, Polar Siberia

Description

Sluzhenikin S.F., Krivolutskaya N. A., Rad'ko V. A., Malitch K.N., Distler V. V, Fedorenko V. A. Ultramafic-mafic intrusions, volcanic rocks and PGE-Cu-Ni sulfide deposits of the Noril'sk Province, Polar Siberia. Field trip guidebook. 12th International Platinum Symposium (Edited by Simonov O.N.). Yekaterinburg: IGG UB RAS, 2014. 80 p. This guidebook is dedicated to ultramafic-mafic intrusions, volcanic rocks and the world-class PGE-Cu-Ni sulfide deposits of the Noril'sk Province, Polar Siberia. The characteristics of geology, mineralogy and geochemistry of volcanic rocks and ore-bearing ultramafic-mafic intrusions are briefly outlined. The proposed excursion stops include inspection of the different volcanic and intrusive rocks, associated PGE-Cu-Ni sulfide ores from drill cores and bedrock outcrops. In addition, an open pit Medvezhy Ruchei and two mines (Oktyabrsky and Taimyrsky) collectively provide an overview of the Noril'sk-type intrusions and associated disseminated and massive PGE-Cu-Ni sulfide ores. The materials of the guidebook are of a broad interest for geologists, earth scientists and students.
