Ultramafic-mafic intrusions, volcanic rocks and PGE-Cu-Ni sulfide deposits of the Noril’sk province, Polar Siberia / Ультраосновные интрузии, вулканические породы и сульфидные месторождения PGE-Cu-Ni Норильской провинции, Полярная Сибирь

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.
