the least stable form of iron sulphide.
of or related to magma, which is a subterranean molten rock, capable of
being extruded at the surface as lava or intruded into rocks in the earth’s
crust.
a sulphide deposit in which the sulphide is contiguous and usually forms
more than 80% of the rock mass which may contain non-sulphidic rock
inclusions.
a nickel sulfide mineral, NiS. It is brassy in colour and has an acicular habit,
often forming radiating masses and furry aggregates.
million tonnes.
the chemical symbol for nickel.
diamond care drill with diametre of 47.6 mm.
an olive-green magnesium iron silicate mineral common in mafic and
ultramafic rocks.
an ultramafic igneous rock consisting essentially of minerals of the pyroxene
group rich in iron and magnesium including hypersthene and enstatite.
the chemical symbol for palladium.
a common nickel sulphide mineral.
general term for intrusive ultramafic igneous rocks consisting of olivine and
lacking felspar.
platinum group element.
any of a common rock-forming series of triclinic feldspar minerals, consisting
of mixtures of sodium and calcium aluminum silicates.
ppb ................... parts per billion.
Pt .................... the chemical symbol for platinum.
pyrite .................. a common iron sulphide mineral FeS 2 .
pyroxene ............... a group of chiefly magnesium-iron minerals including diopside, hexenbergite,
augite pigeonite, and many other rock-forming minerals.
pyroxenite .............. an ultramafic igneous rock consisting essentially of minerals of the pyroxene
group, such as augite and diopside, hypersthene, bronzite or enstatite.
pyrrhotite ............... an iron sulphide FeS.
S..................... the chemical symbol for sulphur.
saprolite ................ the residue of loose mineral material left behind, in place, as a result of the
weathering of solid rock and the removal of some of the weathered,
particularly to soluble, material.
serpentine .............. a group of minerals the composition of which includes magnesium, iron,
hydroxide and silicate.
serpentinite ............. a rock comprised of one or more serpentine minerals. Minerals in this group
are formed by serpentinization, a hydration and metamorphic transformation
of ultramafic rock from the Earth’s mantle.
serpentinized ............ a product of hydrated olivine.
