Major Mines amp; Projects | Rio Tuba Mine
Summary: The targeted deposit type for all projects is tropical (wet) lateritic nickel and cobalt. Particular emphasis is placed on the definition of reasonable thicknesses ( gt;4m) of (garnieritic) saprolite. This style of mineralisation is best developed in areas of moderate topographic gradient over olivinerich ultramafic cumulates; particularly in areas of relatively higher bedrock fracture density.
