摘要：Magmatic sulfide deposits are significantly valuable because more than 60% of the nickel and 99% of the platinum-group elements in the world are produced from these deposits, although Ni-laterite deposits are also an important type of nickel resource. The magmatic sulfide deposits are grouped into sulfide-rich Ni-Cu-(PGE) deposits and sulfide-poor PGE deposits. Although the research on the magmatic sulfide deposits has a long history, plenty of new insights and progress have been achieved in the past years. The aim of this volume is to introduce readers to the geological and geochemical features of these deposit types via descriptions of the most representational deposits in the world and to also provide new insight on the genesis of the magmatic sulfide deposits.
