The wide granite dykes combined with the high-grade nature of the one zone indicate a large batholith is below and the mineralization could be concentrations related to remobilization within the cupola or fractured area above the batholith.

This would mean the 2.3 metre thick high-grade zone is not a primary differentiate but rather a high-grade remobilized nickel-rich zone which filled a structurally-controlled fracture.

If this origin-theory is correct the 2.3 metre thick bed could have originated from a larger structurally-prepared cavern with similar grade Nickel.

If the high-grade widens at depth this theory becomes possible!
