Abstract The Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) contains abundant sulphides, especially near the base, and hosts one of the world’s largest nickel and copper deposits. The Bushveld Complex (BC
There are enough platinum group element deposits in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa to supply world demands for many decades or even a century using current mining techniques. …

201661· Abstract The Bushveld Complex (South Africa) is the largest layered intrusion on Earth and plays a considerable role in our understanding of magmatic differentiation and ore-forming processes. In this study, we present new geochemical data for apatite-hosted multiphase inclusions in gabbroic cumulates from the Bushveld Upper Zone.

75· Phosphorus contents in cumulus rocks occurring close to the level of apatite appearance in the basic rocks of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, provide a method of calculating the proportion of intercumulus component in these rocks. Previous experimental studies have accurately constrained the phosphorus content of magmas when apatite …

21· There is mineralogical, chemical and isotopic evidence that the layered mafic-ultramafic sequence of the Bushveld Complex, the Rustenburg Layered Suite (RLS), was formed through at least 4 major pulses of replenishing magma (e.g., Eales, 2002; Kruger, 2005; Cawthorn, 2015).
The Merensky Reef and the underlying Upper Group 2 chromitite layer, in the Critical Zone of the Bushveld Complex, host much of the world’s platinum-group element (PGE) mineralization.
R. Grant Cawthorn Abstract The mafic rocks of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, were emplaced into a stable cratonic shield some 2.06 b.y. ago, and have remained remarkably well preserved from deformation, metamorphism and low temperature alteration, at least partly by its isostatic impact on the entire crustal thickness. The generation and emplacement of possibly 1 …
A detailed geochemical study is presented of the uppermost Critical Zone, especially of the footwall and hanging wall to the Merensky Reef, at Impala Platinum Mines in the Bushveld Complex. The approximately 100 m-thick sequence below the Merensky Reef consists of 13 distinct layers which have sharp boundaries. They are adcumulates with varying proportions of …
