Nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co) laterite deposits are supergene enrichments of Ni±Co that form from intense chemical and mechanical weathering of ultramafic parent rocks. These regolith deposits typically form within 26 degrees of the equator, although there are a few exceptions. They form in active continental margins and stable cratonic settings. It …

Magmatic Ni-Cu ore bodies at Nunavik Nickel, like most similar deposits, are mainly composed of pyrrhotite (Fe 1-x S) and varying amounts of chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) and pentlandite ((Fe,Ni) 9 S 8). From a geophysical point of view, these minerals are indistinguishable, and their global signatures will mostly depend on their texture (i.e ...

If Ore Reserves at mines on care and maintenance, developing mines and undeveloped deposits are also considered, the average reserve life of nickel is 54 years (Table 2). If EDR (Table 1) is used as an indication of long‑term potential supply, Australia's nickel resources could last approximately 135 years at 2019 rates of production.
