mafic intrusive means you have a rock which comes from the mantle as a magma and it intrudes into the earths crust. Thus there is a whole suite of mafic rocks. Sometimes these rocks contain sulphides including copper, nickel etc. So if you were looking for a base metal mine looking at mafic intrusives is a good place to start.
