6. Conclusions
- The geochemical characteristics of the rocks and related ores for three intrusions of the Norilsk region were studied using XRF, ICP-MS, ICP-AES, FAAS methods. They are the Kharayelakh intrusion with a unique PGE–Cu–Ni Oktyabr’ sky deposit, the Pyasino-Vologochansky intrusion with a large Vologochansky deposit, and the Norilsk 2 intrusion with subeconomic mineralization. The similarity of the rock compositions from these intrusions, independent of their mineralization, was established.
- The rock compositions and volume mineralization of the studied intrusions do not depend on their setting in the cross section. The Kharaelakh and Pyasinsky-Vologochansky intrusions are located in the same Devonian carbonate–terrigenous rocks on the boundary of the Kurejsky and Razvedochninsky formations, but their metal resources differ by two orders of magnitude. The assimilation of the host rocks by parental magmas occurs in the narrow contact zones (with a thickness of the first meters) of the intrusive bodies, and does not affect the weighted average composition of the intrusions or the volume of mineralization.
- The lack of correlation between the silicate rock compositions and their mineralization indicates that the magmas were mostly transported agents for sulfides from the deep zones of the Earth to the surface.
