| Description: |
Abstract Outokumpu-type deposits contain Cu-Co-Zn-Ni-Ag-Au. The first deposit of this type was found in the village of Kuusjärvi, North Karelia. The deposits are associated with ophiolites and enclosed in what is called Outokumpu assemblage. Similar deposits have been found around the world, but the Outokumpu area has the most and largest mineralizations to be found to date. There are numerous mineralizations found in the Outokumpu area. The Keretti, Vuonos, Luikonlahti and Kylylahti deposits having been mined and are the most significant ones. The current view is that the deposits have formed in a three-phase process. First deposition of hydrothermal sulphides at ultramafic ocean floor forming Cu proto-ore, then during obduction alteration of peridotite body margins forming Ni proto-ore. Final phase happened during regional deformation which remobilized the Cu and Ni proto-ores forming the current Outokumpu type deposits. see all
