Abstract/NotesThe Panzhihua deposit is the one of the largest Fe-Ti oxide deposits in the world and holds 10,000 to 20,000 tons of Co resource with grades varying from 0.01 % to 0.02 %. Detailed field geological investigations and major and trace element analyses, were conducted to reveal occurrence of Co and Ni and their enrichment mechanism. Co and Ni are predominantly enriched in massive magnetite ores (average 277 ppm Co, 281 ppm Ni) of the Lower zone in the Panzhihua intrusion. Co occurs as three types:(1) independent minerals such as cobalt pentlandite (Co3.96-6.98Ni0.85-2.62Fe1.36-2.53S8) and linnaeite (Co1.65-1.88Ni0.99-1.05Fe0.15-0.37S4); (2) isomorphic state substituting for Fe, Ni and/or Mg in pentlandite (Co0.53-0.55Ni4.57-4.65Fe3.80-3.83S8), Co-bearing pyrite (Co0.09-0.12Fe0.89-0.93S2), pyrrhotite (Co 111–1964 ppm), olivine (Co 161–184 ppm), pyrite (Co 3–272 ppm), titanomagnetite (Co 57–181 ppm), ilmenite (Co 57–110 ppm), clinopyroxeneclinopyroxene (Co 34–40 ppm); (3) microscopic sulfide inclusions in chalcopyrite. Sulfide segregation and crystallization are principal mechanisms of Co enrichment. The results offers valuable insights into understanding Co mineralization, resource assessment, and comprehensive utilization in magmatic Fe-Ti oxide deposits.
