• High and variable Ni
tenor of sulfides in
Ni-PGE ores, up to 40%
• Millerite-Pentlandite-Pyrite

Each spot represents one thin section
DNi Cpx/Olivine = 0.1 - 0.2 (Lindstrom and Weill, 1978; Storsch, 1981; Kennedy et al., 1993)
From a Ni-enriched magma ?

• Negative correlation between Ni and Cu tenor suggests the high and variable Ni tenor was not due to variable high R-factors, but by addition of a Ni-rich, Cu-poor component into the magma

eNd -7, much lower than any other deposits in the
world, indicate a high crust component

Yang et al. (2013)
A previous stage Ni-PGE rich sulfide was involved in the kevitsa magma, Ni and PGE was enriched in a local scale

Future study
• The connection
between Kevitsa,
Sakatti and the
regional komatiite
is of great
importance for both
scientific research
and mineral
exploration
Lomalampi
Sakatti
