A Detailed Assessment of Global Nickel Resource Trends and Endowments
Gavin Mark Mudd,Simon M. Jowitt +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed compilation and assessment of globally reported Cu resources by project and standard deposit types for the year 2010 is presented in this paper, showing that the vast majority of global copper resources are hosted by Cu porphyry deposits, especially in Chile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel Laterite Ore Deposits: Weathered Serpentinites
C.R.M. Butt,Dominique Cluzel +1 more
TL;DR: Nickel laterite ores account for over 60% of global nickel supply as discussed by the authors, and are the product of intensive deep weathering of serpentinites under humid tropical conditions.

Ophiolite-Related Ultramafic Rocks (Serpentinites) in the Caribbean Region: A Review of their Occurrence, Composition, Origin, Emplacement and Ni-Laterite Soil Formation
TL;DR: In this article, the age of the mantle peridotites and associated ophiolites is probably mainly late Jurassic or early Cretaceous, before serpentinization, but most emplacement took place in the Late Cret Jurassic to Eocene (e.g. Cuba).
Journal ArticleDOI
An Outline of the Geology of New Caledonia; from Permian - Mesozoic Southeast Gondwanaland Active Margin to Cenozoic Obduction and Supergene Evolution
TL;DR: The geological evolution of New Caledonia can be divided into three phases: the Gondwanan phase (Permian-Early Cretaceous), is marked by subduction along the SE Gondwaland margin, and the post-Eocene phase (Post Eocene) corresponds to prominent regolith development and minor tectonic events that lead to the development of supergene nickel ores as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultramafic nickel laterites in Indonesia (Sulawesi, Halmahera): mining, nickel hyperaccumulators and opportunities for phytomining
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a phytomining operation using hyperaccumulators to extract residual nickel from stripped land in Sulawesi and Halmahera islands in Indonesia.
