This interpretation has several implications for the mode of emplacement of sulfides, their degree of equilibration with the host komatiite, and the compositions of sulfide ores: (1) the solubility of sulfur in komatiite is relatively low, so most of the sulfide in eroded sediments will be melted and remain as a dense layer at the base of the ...

DetailsThe violarite content in ores of the Kola peninsula is approximately 5% of the nickel minerals sum, but at different deposits the violarite to pentlandite ratios vary considerably. In particular, in samples of rich sulphide ore of the Allarechensk deposit stored in tailings for several years violarite prevailed over pentlandite.
DetailsIn comparison, komatiites typically have <60 ppm of both Zn and Cu, whereas contact sulphide ores have Zn values <100 ppm and Cu values >400 ppm. Thus the Cu : Zn ratio can aid in discriminating between ore and non-ore sulphides, even in the presence of moderately elevated Ni values (i.e. 0.4 wt% Ni) in the sedimentary horizons.
