Oct 28, 2014· The Bushveld Complex in South Africa hosts the world's largest resources of platinum-group elements (PGEs), which are mainly mined from three ore bodies, namely the Merensky Reef, the UG-2 chromitite, and the Platreef. In these ores, the PGEs are bimodally distributed, occurring both as discrete platinum-group minerals (PGMs) and hosted by sulfides.
Ore sample of a mixture of several sulfide minerals: pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite. Frood-Stobie Mine, Sudbury District, Ontario, Canada.
Pentlandite, nickel iron sulphide, is the principal ore for nickel. Pentlandite is found in the form of massive granular aggregates. It appears as a brassy gold-colored mineral, having similarities in characteristics to other sulfide minerals like pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.

Experiments on pentlandite from Frood Mine, Sudbury [Ontario], show breakdown of pentlandite at 613 degrees C. and melting effects in the temperature region 864 degrees to 881 degrees C. These experimental results have important bearing on the geological interpretation of pentlandite-pyrrhotite assemblages in ores such as those of the Subury area.
Pyrrhotite is often intergrown with pentlandite (Fe,Ni) 9 S 8, the principal ore of nickel. The two minerals are usually mined together if the nickel content of the rock mass is high enough. Some pyrrhotite contains as much as 5% nickel by weight. That can be enough for the pyrrhotite to be mined …
Jul 20, 2021· Nickel is mined both from surface laterite and underground sulfide deposits. Laterite is a mix of iro nickeloxides and hydroxides and hydrous nickel silicates. The most abundant nickel-bearing mineral is pentlandite [iron-nickel sulfide, (Fe,Ni)9S8]; bronze-yellow with a metallic luster, pentlandite occurs in massive form.

Pentlandite from Frood Mine, sudbury, was obtained from professor J. E. Hawley, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. This material, which is exceptionally pure, was used in some of the present experiments. chemical analysis of pentlandite from Frood Mine was performed by Dickson (1904). It gave 34.98 Ni, 0.8b Co, 80.04 Fe, and BB.B0 S (all
Pentlandite - A large specimen 20cm wide composed of likely intergrown Pentlandite and Pyrrhotite. The magnet sticks in some places and not others. The material you would think is Pyrrhotite is not. The Chalcopyrite is the iridescent and goldish areas. There are large chucks of what I think are Enstatite, which has good cleavage and is about hardness of 6.
Pentlandite, Chalcopyrite, and Pyrrhotite from Frood-Stobie Mine, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
The fraction of nickel in pentlandite (nickel ore) is only 5.5 × 10 −3 g Ni/g ore. To supply 1 g of pure nickel to an industrial process requires that at least 181 g of pentlandite be dug. If the nickel mine is underground, the upper layers of topsoil and clay are also excavated, perhaps a forest is also cut and biotic material degraded.

The most important nickel mineral is pentlandite, (Ni, Fe) 9 S 8, followed by pyrrhotite, usually ranging from FeS to Fe 7 S 8, in which some of the iron may be replaced by nickel. Chalcopyrite, CuFeS 2, is the dominant copper mineral in these ores, with small amounts of another copper mineral, cubanite, CuFe 2 S 3. Some gold, silver, and the ...
Most mined nickel derives from two types of ore deposits that form in very different geological environments: magmatic sulfide deposits, where the principal ore mineral is pentlandite [(Ni,Fe) 9 S 8], and laterites, where the principal ore minerals are nickeliferous limonite [(Fe,Ni)O(OH)] and garnierite (a hydrous nickel silicate). Magmatic ...

The Homestake Mine was a deep underground gold mine (8,000 feet or 2,438 m) located in Lead, South Dakota.Until it closed in 2002 it was the largest and deepest gold mine in North America.The mine produced more than forty million troy ounces (43,900,000 oz; 1,240,000 kg) of gold during its lifetime. This is about 70.75 m 3 or a volume of gold roughly equal to 18 677 gallons (a cube with each ...
These ultramafic bodies contain sulphide mineralisation, mostly in the form of pentlandite and pyrrhotite, but also contain chalcopyrite, magnetite and pyrite with associated cobalt and platinum-group metals. In 2008, a scoping study of the mineralised zones 5-8 was completed. Pre-feasibility for mine …
