铜镍硫化物矿床是典型的岩浆矿床,是指与超镁铁质岩、镁铁质岩浆有关的以铜镍硫化物(-PGE)为主的矿床(汤中立,2002)。世界上对岩浆型铜镍硫化物矿床的研究最早可追溯到1856年加拿大Sudbury矿床发现之时,迄今已有150余年的历史。中国对这类矿床的研究最早始于1956年四川力马河铜镍矿床重新开发利用之时,至今仅有50余年的历史(吕林素等,2007)。前人进行了大量的研究工作,并从不同角度对铜 Copper-nickel sulfide deposits are typical magmatic deposits and refer to copper-nickel sulfide (-PGE) -based deposits associated with ultramafic and mafic magmas (Soup Neutral, 2002). The world’s study of the magmatic copper-nickel-sulfide deposits dates back to the discovery of the Sudbury deposit in Canada in 1856 and has been more than 150 years old. The earliest studies of this type of deposit in China started in 1956 when the Limahe copper-nickel deposit in Sichuan was redeveloped and utilized, with a history of only over 50 years (Lu, et al., 2007). The predecessors conducted a lot of research work and from different perspectives on copper
