Book cover The Ni-Cu-(PGE) Aguablanca Ore Deposit (SW Spain)

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in World Mineral Deposits ((BRIEFSWMD))

  • 232 Accesses

Abstract

The high sulfur content and the low concentrations of PGE (0.47 g/t, evaluation by Río Narcea Recursos, SA) of the Aguablanca mineralization indicate that this deposit belongs, according to the classification of Naldrett (Magmatic sulfide deposit: Geology, geochemistry and exploration. Springer, Berlin, p 728, 2004), to those magmatic sulfide deposits valuable due to their primary Ni and Cu contents with PGE recovered as by-products.
