Mineralogical, Textural and Chemical Characteristics of Ophiolitic Chromitite and Platinum Group Minerals from Kabaena Island (Indonesia): Their Petrogenetic Nature and Geodynamic Setting

open access: yesMinerals, 2022
This contribution presents the first systematic mineralogical study of chromite composition, silicates and PGM (platinum group minerals) by electron microprobes in the podiform chromitite of Kabaena Island (Indonesia) mined in the past.

The Tornio layered intrusion - a recently discovered intrusion with chromitite horizons in Northern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1982
In the 1960's chromite boulders were found in the area between the Kemi chromium mine and the town of Tornio. In 1979 after many years of prospecting a layered intrusion with thin chromitite layers was found northeast of the town of Tornio.

Formation of Chromitite Seams and Associated Anorthosites in Layered Intrusion by Reactive Volatile-rich Fluid Infiltration

open access: yes, 2021
Drilling related to development of the platinum-group element deposit of the J-M Reef of the Stillwater Complex returned samples of a rare chromitite seam between anorthosite and norite in a discordant anorthositic body.

Multistage origin of dunite in the Purang ophiolite, southern Tibet, documented by composition, exsolution and Li isotope characteristics of constituent minerals [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Mineralogy, 2020
The Purang ophiolite, which crops out over an area of about 650 km2 in the western Yarlung–Zangbo suture zone, consists chiefly of mantle peridotite, pyroxenite and gabbro.

Silicates from Lherzolites in the South-Eastern Part of the Kempirsay Massif as the Source for Giant Chromitite Deposits (the Southern Urals, Kazakhstan)

open access: yesMinerals, 2022
We provide results of a comprehensive mineralogical and microstructural study of relict lherzolites of the main ore field and fresh rocks from a deep structural borehole drilled in the south-eastern part of the Kempirsay massif. Olivine and orthopyroxene

Integrated geophysical methods for boulder delineation to improve mining

open access: yesGeophysical Prospecting, Volume 71, Issue 7, Page 1226-1246, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Near‐surface boulders can pose serious challenges to opencast mining. They often introduce complexities, delays in drilling, blasting and excavation programmes, which subsequently decrease mining efficiency, increase mining risks and costs. The location of subsurface boulders and the identification of other geological features that may impact ...

The Central Series of the Rum Igneous Complex, NW Scotland: the rises and falls of magma in a large mafic‐ultramafic volcano

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 130-143, July/August 2023., 2023
The Central Series of the Paleocene mafic to ultramafic Rum complex is the youngest of the three main cumulate series that make up the layered igneous complex of this famed Scottish island. The Central Series lies along the Long Loch Fault and provides insights into the feeder system to the Rum intrusion at an erosion level of about two kilometres ...

Formation and Evolution of Chromitites in the Hongshishan Complex, Beishan Orogenic Collage, NW China: Constraints from Mineralogical Compositions, Re‐Os Isotopes and Platinum‐Group Element Geochemistry

open access: yesActa Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 727-743, June 2023., 2023
Abstract The Hongshishan chromitite deposits are situated to the north of the Beishan orogenic collage, in the southern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. This study describes the mineral chemistry, Re‐Os isotopes and platinum‐group elements geochemistry of the Hongshishan chromitites for the purpose of constraining the origin, evolution and ...

Polyphase tectonic reworking of serpentinites and chlorite‐tremolite‐talc rocks (SW Spain) from the subduction forearc to intracontinental emplacement

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 491-523, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The petrostructural and geochronological study of a poorly known ultramafic unit from SW Spain (Badajoz–Córdoba belt) combined with previous structural data permits disclosure of a history of metasomatism, tectono‐metamorphism, reworking and isotopic resetting related to a poly‐orogenic evolution in different geodynamic scenarios.
