Abstract

New data on the age, composition, formation conditions, and ore-geochemical specialization of the Nui Chua layered peridotite-gabbro complex are reported. They evidence that the complex resulted from the Permo-Triassic mantle plume activity in northern Vietnam (southern framing of the Yangtze Platform). Two series of mafic and ultramafic rocks differing in ore productivity-layered (PGE-Cu-Ni) and pegmatoid (Fe-Ti-V)-have been recognized within the complex. The first estimates of the composition of their parental melts have been obtained.
