, 2004 Ophiolites, as a class, have been currently under-estimated as potential gold targets, although they have been the subject of major scientific research. Their resources have also attracted investors producing Cr, Cu (massive sulphides), Co, Ni (laterites), industrial rocks and minerals (serpentinites, emeralds), etc. They are also potential PGE sources.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Supra-subduction zone ophiolites: The search for modern analogues
, 2003 The development of ideas on modern analogues for ophiolite complexes can be divided into three parts. In the first (1963 to 1972), ophiolites were mainly viewed as on-land analogues of the crust and upper mantle formed at mid-ocean ridges.

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2019 Based on the model of an oceanic island-arc breakup followed by accretion of rear and frontal parts of an arc to a continental margin of North-East Asia, the geodynamic nature of the ophiolites of Kamchatka and South Koryakia has been considered.

Ophiolite complex of Piedmont-Ligurian basin (Northern Apennines)
Геофизический журнал, 2023 The Northern Apennines contain remnants of the Piedmont-Ligurian Basin (PLB) or ocean, which during the Late Mesozoic time (mainly in the Jurassic) separated the paleo-Europe (Iberian plate) from the southern paleocontinent Adria at the Africa promontory.
