Large Ni(-Cu) deposit (discovered in 2009) under exploration.

Located in the protected Viiankiaapa mire area belonging to the Natura 2000 network of protected areas.

The deposit contains massive, disseminated and stockwork ores with total resources of 157.3 Mt @ 1.65% Cu, 0.40 % Ni, 0.02 % Co, 0.32 g/t Pt, 0.23 g/t Pd, 0.13 g/t Au and 2.64 g/t Ag (Anglo American 2024). The sulfide ores are hosted by 2054 ± 5 Ma komatiitic cumulates and lavas, which are underlain by anhydrite-carbonate breccias and argillaceous carbonate rocks and overlain by a heterogeneous oxidized talc-carbonate breccia enclosing a mega block of massive dolomite. The deposit consists of massive ore that can be sub-divided into deeper Ni- and shallower Cu-rich portions. Disseminated Cu-rich ore commonly coexists with both massive ore types, and Cu-PGE -rich stockwork vein ore shows a gradational relationship to the Cu-rich massive ore. Majority of these ore types are hosted by komatiitic olivine cumulates and pegmatoidal gabbronorites. The ore assemblage shows fractionation from Ni-rich massive sulfide solid solution (mss) to Cu-rich intermediate solid solution (iss), which has been to some extent modified by remobilization and reworking during the later tectonic events at 1.9-1.8 Ga.
