Cu±Ni±PGE mineralization is closely associated with peridotite...Platinum-group minerals (PGM) documented from the deposit are: merenskyite (PdTe2) and michenerite (PdTeBi)...(PdTeBi), as well as palladian bismuthian melonite (Ni,Pd) (Te,Bi)2. These minerals occur in intimate association...redistribution of PGE. Mineralized samples show Ni/Cu ratios ranging from 0.2 to 2 with an average of
