The book presents isotope-geochemical investigations of the world's largest reserves of copper
nickel and platinum-group elements in the Norilsk ore region. Ever since its discovery
generations of geologists have been fascinated by the geology of these deposits described as a
250 Ma magmatic formation with mafic and ultramafic layered intrusions disseminated ore and
continuous copper-nickel ore bed. The book includes the results of more than 5 000 analyses of
eleven isotopic systems performed at the Russian Research Geological Institute's Center of
Isotopic Research between 2005 and 2014. The book is intended for specialists in isotope
geology metallogeny ore geology and students of geology.
