LATERITIC NICKEL
LATERITE
CAINOZOIC
The Greenvale deposit consists of terraced remnants of Tertiary laterite profiles developed on strongly serpentinised harzburgites intruded |
into Proterozoic schists of the Etheridge Province. |
Typically the ore averages 7.5m in thickness and is overlain by 5 to 10m of overburden.
