DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2020.105407
Abstract: Abstract The association of platinum-group elements (PGE) and the chalcophile elements Te, As, Bi, Sb and Sn (TABS) has been extensively documented in several magmatic sulfide deposits over the past years. However, understanding the roles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oregeorev.2017.12.001
Abstract: Abstract The composition of magmas considered to be parental to layered ultramafic to mafic intrusions are commonly studied using rocks occurring along their marginal portion, in contact with the surrounding country rock. With a size,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oregeorev.2020.103784
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of a novel approach to identify and quantify structural features that disrupt ore-bearing horizons using 3D seismic attributes and a horizon-surface processing technique (difference-of-two-surfaces) on high-resolution 3D… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2020.105654
Abstract: Abstract The Rustenburg Layered Suite (RLS) of the Bushveld Complex, the largest ultramafic–mafic-layered intrusion on Earth, is associated with satellite intrusions and marginal sills with which it shares a common parental heritage (i.e. the B1,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2020.1795734
Abstract: ABSTRACT Crystallization of the 2.06 Ga Bushveld magma formed a 9 km (maximum) sequence of ultramafic and mafic rocks that generated a large volume of country fluid as it thermally metamorphosed a 3+ km section… read more here.

DOI: 10.25131/sajg.125.0001
Abstract: A recent re-interpretation of the Bushveld Complex and other layered intrusions as stacks of randomly emplaced, amalgamated sills is mostly fuelled by finding of zircon ages that are not getting progressively younger from the base… read more here.
