“These till samples were taken along a 22km strike of the Providence Lake Green Stone belt which hosts the magmatic, komatiite-hosted nickel-copper-cobalt and platinum group element (Ni-Cu-Co-PGE) sulphide discovery made by Arctic in 2008.”
“Within this sequence the company has intersected komatiite and sulphidic BIF units at least”
“The first "hot-melting" model assumes the komatiite was formed through the melting of a mantle source at temperatures up to 500°C hotter than today's mantle temperature.”
