The nickel ore shoots in the area surrounding the Kam-balda dome (Fig. 1) occur on the upper contact of the Lun-non Basalt Formation (footwall of the ore shoots) and within the overlying Kambalda Komatiite Formation (host rock and
Kambalda Type Komatiitic Nickel Ore Deposits. Kambalda type nickel ore deposits are a class of magmatic nickel-copper ore deposit in which the physical processes of komatiite volcanology serve to enrich, concentrate and deposit nickel-bearing sulfide within the lava flow environment of an erupting komatiite volcano.
Mincor Resources has intersected nickel sulphides during the early stages of a significant drilling program between the Long and Durkin mines in Western Australia. The company believes the intersection demonstrates proof-of-concept and highlights the discovery opportunity in the 1.1 kilometre zone between the mines near Kambalda.

Geochemical data for 870 ore samples of 14 nickel sulphide (NiS) deposits from throughout the major Archaean Kambalda ore field, Western Australia, reveal highly heterogeneous Ni tenor (wt% Ni in 100 wt% sulphide) variation that is difficult to explain solely by magmatic processes. The Ni tenor values for the deposits range from 6.2 wt% Ni (Helmut deposit) to 19.7 wt% Ni (Carnilya Hill …
Kambalda type komatiitic nickel ore deposits are a class of magmatic iron-nickel-copper-platinum-group element ore deposit in which the physical processes of komatiite volcanology serve to deposit, concentrate and enrich a Fe-Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide melt within the lava flow environment of an erupting komatiite volcano. 67 relations.

Genetic Model. The genetic model of Kambalda-type Ni-Cu-() ore deposits is similar that of many other magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE ore deposits:Metal Source: komatiitic magma, which has been generated by high-degree partial melting of the mantle and which was strongly undersaturated in sulfide in the source (Wendland, 1982; see also Mavrogenes and O'Neill, 1999)
Most ore deposits are named according to their location (for example, the Witwatersrand, South Africa), or after a discoverer (e.g. the Kambalda nickel shoots are named after drillers), or after some whimsy, a historical figure, a prominent person, something from mythology (phoenix, kraken, serepentleopard, etc.) or the code name of the resource company which found it (e.g. MKD-5 was the in ...
The ore production at the nickel project is targeted to begin in the December 2021 quarter. Mincor stated: "The restart of nickel mining and production in Kambalda is a very positive development for the region and Mincor is positively skewed toward engaging local contractors and employees while providing opportunities for our indigenous ...

A nickel mine located a few km N of Kambalda. Part of the McMahon Complex, containing the Ken, Gellaty, Gordon, Wroth and Loreto shoots, all accessed via the McMahon decline. The McMahon deposit itself is central to these. No outcrop. Discovered 1968. Ore production began late 1972.
Located approximately 56 kilometres south of Nickel West Kalgoorlie, and adjacent to the township of Kambalda, Nickel West Kambalda treats nickel ore sourced from third parties in the Kambalda region to produce nickel concentrate. With affordable housing and modern conveniences, Kambalda is a unique mining town surrounded by natural Australian ...
A concentrator plant in Kambalda processes ore and concentrate purchased from third parties. The three streams feed the Kalgoorlie nickel smelter, which uses a flash furnace to produce nickel matte. The Kwinana nickel refinery then turns this into nickel powder and briquettes. Mt Keith Concentration plant with a nominal capacity: 11 Mtpa of ore.
The gold ore is processed locally, 80 km south of the mine at Karora's Higginsville processing facility. Nickel mineralization occurs in sulphidic ore and is hosted by altered talc-carbonate and serpentine altered ultramafic rocks (specifically the Kambalda Komatiite) which overlie the Lunnon Basalt. The nickel ore is sold to BHP and is ...
