Abstract
Abstract
The nickel ores of New Caledonia are the product of concentration of hydrous nickel and magnesium silicates during laterization of peridotite. The ore minerals are primary magmatic constituents of the parent rock, which is considered to have been intruded in the Tertiary. Serpentinization of the peridotite plays only a minor role in the genetic process; impermeable serpentinized zones acted as a barrier to the further migration of nickel-bearing solutions and thus aided concentration.
