Age: 2.058 Ga
Kevitsa: 240 Mt
0.3% Ni, 0.41% Cu
Pt 0.21 ppm,
Pd, 0.15ppm,
Au, 0.11 ppm
Sakatti: comparable to
Kevitsa, but higher grade
Lomalampi: Ore body
- Thickness: 10-20 m
- Strike length: 390 m
- Averaging:
Pt 0.27 ppm
Pd 0.12 ppm
Ni 0.17 % Cu 0.025%
Large volume mafic-ultramafic magma and sulfide-bearing sedimentary rocks
provide the region a great potential for Ni-Cu-PGE suflide mineralization
