The Sukinda ultramafic complex is restricted within the eastern Ghats mobile belt and IOG and exposed along the southern margin of the Singbhum Craton. These ultramafic suites intrude along the marginal fracture of Singbhum crustal rocks in successive phases, and they are regional folds, forming a plunging synform. The plunging synform’s northern limb shows a moderate dip, whereas the southern limb appears as sub-vertical. The Sukinda ultramafic rocks consist of dunites, serpentinite, chromitite, and pyroxenite. The exposed serpentinite in the Sukinda area is the low-grade metamorphic equivalent of dunites. Relatively fresh and unaltered pyroxenites are a late-stage intrusion into the early formed dunite and chromitite rock sequence. However, the regional disposition and relation with IOG suggest that the Sukinda ultramafic complex may be from the Precambrian age.
