Abstract
Sulphide PGE-Ni-Cu and low sulphide PGE mineralization has been discovered in a Rifean (Upper Proterozoic) loko-Dovyren mafic-ultramafic intrusion at Nort Baikal region, Russia. The age, geodynamic setting, contact processes and mineralization of the loko-Dovyren massif are comparable with other known layered intrusive complexes such as Duluth (USA), Muskox, Voisey’s Bay and several other examples in Canada, China and Brazil. Mineralization is associated with volcano-plutonic complexes related to continental paleorift structures. The Rifean metallogenical epoch belongs together with the Archean and Lower Proterozoic epochs as major periods of Ni-Cu-PGE metallogenesis.
