English

Subject field(s)
  • Nickel and Cobalt Mining
OBS

Most nickel sulphide deposits consist of several closely adjacent, but discrete orebodies, therefore the definition of "deposit" is rather arbitrary. Individual orebodies may contain from a few hundred thousand to a few million tonnes of ore, and in some instances tens of millions of tonnes of ore.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mines de cobalt et de nickel
OBS

La plupart des gisements de sulfures de nickel se composent de plusieurs corps minéralisés voisins mais séparés; c'est pourquoi la définition de «gisement» est assez arbitraire. Individuellement, les corps minéralisés peuvent contenir quelques centaines de milliers à quelques millions de tonnes de minerai et, dans certains cas, des dizaines de millions de tonnes.
