Don't embarass yourself any further with magmatic theory if you are going to press. Reread the literature from 1948 about Sudbury by Davidson. The latest stuff from Naldrett is actually the geological minority. As respected as Anthony N is in the field he is just plain wrong about nickel. Tell me why it should be any different from copper-zinc? Huh? Think about whether a magma chamber can actually exist. How does it form a pool? Would it be conformable to the surrounding rocks? At what depth does it form? Where does it get its cavity to form? Not at a subduction boundaries.. no room there.. Magmatic chambers are theoretical nonsense.. go down in a mine and explain how you would move 20 miles of rock out of the way to form a pool.. Go ahead,, why would one form at any particular place.. magma chambers are the little green men of geology.. they do not exist.. And neither does magmatic segregation.. How does the segregated mass get to the surface and in the vicinity of like age sediments? I will admit that gniesses have to have at first glance, deep burial. At 40,000 feet, that is what you have, geisses.. But lets look at the environment here. How far are we from the sea.. how old are the nearby sediments.. why are the bottom contact rocks unaltered? Why do the gabbroic rocks so closely resemble ophiolites? So the Tasiyuak Gniess is high in sulfur. Glad you were looking for that. But you don't need it. Volcanoes have lots. And guess what else the Tasiuyak Gneiss is high in? Well? Extremely anomalous throughout its length? Nickel. 500 PPM. From Ungava to the south Labrador shore.. The sediments always carry the metals.. ask Walter Holyk and Ken Darke.. EC<:-}

Monsieur Crebs, off topic- Aside from the magmatic segregation and 'VMS-Black Smoker' models of genesis for LARGE Ni deposits, it was proposed to me that some Ni deposits were the direct result of siderolith inpacts on our globe. Do you give credence to this 'rich in Ni Siderolith' genesis model for some deposits ? Some have been bold enough to suggest the Sudbury Basin itself... Regards & hoping I wont burn at the stake.

The other thing to ponder is why are all the nickel bodies in volcanic areas on the gniess beds? They have gneisses on one side and diorites or volcanics on the other.. If they were formed so deep what are the adjacent contemporaneous volcanics doing there? the Frood mine rests on Mafic Metavolcanics and Rhyolite. It is overlain by another volcanic rock, a mafic metavolcanic and then the volcanic norite, a seabed hypersthene basalt.. called a gabbro by those who presume it to be intrusive.. where are they intrusives? You are right it is embarassing.. modern geology with its head up its keister.. ignoring the volcanoes on every side spouting nonsense and bending the rules to suit their pet theories.. EC<:-}

It may interest you to know that a ni-cu gabbro area with plenty of troctolite is the Thunder Bay area. The Lac Des Isle Platinum mine and the Shebandowan mine are both near troctolite intrusions. I don't know why people are so fired up about troctolite anyway. The VB troctolite is not a true troctolite. But the Northwestern Ontario cu-ni occurences are near the real trout stone. They even look like a Dolly Varden, very pretty rock. It turns out that that sort of rock is usual in many gabbroic sequences, unmineralized and mineralized. The rock everybody should be looking for is a quartz diorite. Now that is the host of enough nickel mines to be of real interest. EC<:-}
