Chemical variations, geochemical behaviors and other problems such as element assemblages and relative abundances of elements during and after various geologic processes (magmatism, assimilation, hydrothermal alteration as well as tectonic movements) have been discussed for a nickel-bearing ultrabasic intrnsion. Particular emphasis is placed on aspects concerning the geochemical behavior of nickel. Conclusions have been reached about the environment and possible mechanism for the emplacement of this massive and for the origin of Ni sulfides. A “assimilation-immiscibility“ hypothesis is proposed for formation of copper-nickel sulfide deposits in ultrabasic intrnsives.
