Abstract

Geochemical features of basic–ultrabasic intrusions, including massifs with Pt–Cu–Ni mineralization, have been studied in the Kola–Karelia area. Major and rare elements were determined in several samples from famous Ni deposits as Monchepluton, Fedorova–Pansky Tundras, and Burakovsky as compared to intrusions of the South Kovdor area, perspective on founding sulfide mineralization. All intrusions of the Kovdor area were related to the drusite (corona) complex. Their geochemical study demonstrated their difference in distribution of rare elements. According to these data, they were subdivided into three groups. The first one is close to Monchepluton rocks and most characteristic for Ni mineralization. The geochemical features of these massifs are very similar to the features of the Noril’sk Intrusive Complex. The patterns of these massifs are close to the crust; they have negative Ta–Nb and positive Pb anomalies. Their age is 2,410 ± 10 Ma showing their later formation as compared with layered intrusions.
