Chromite and sulphide mineralisation of the Uitloop ultramafic bodies in the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex

扫码查看
The stratigraphy of the Rustenburg Layered Suite in the northern limb is different from that of the eastern and western limbs south of the Thabazimbi-Murchi-son Lineament. In the northern limb, the Lower Zone occurs as chonolith-like bodies that intruded into Archaean granite-gneisses and metasedi-mentary rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup [ 1 ]. These bodies host Cr and Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposits, whereas the Lower Zone in the rest of the complex is barren. The Uitloop Lower Zone intrusion is exposed as two separate bodies (Uitloop I and Uitloop II) which lie along the eastern periphery of the northern limb.
