1. Igneous Intrusion

   Linked via "silicate magma"

   Immiscible Fluid Segregation
   During the cooling of large, mafic to ultramafic intrusions (e.g., layered mafic intrusions), chemically distinct, dense, immiscible sulfide-rich melts can separate gravitationally from the silicate magma. These segregated liquids pool at the floor of the magma chamber, concentrating valuable elements such as nickel, an…

2. Ore Deposits

   Linked via "silicate magma"

   These deposits form directly from cooling and crystallizing igneous rocks. Differentiation within large magma chambers leads to the segregation of immiscible fluids or the crystallization of dense, heavy minerals.
   Sulfide Immiscible Liquids: Heavy, sulfur-rich melts separate from the silicate magma, sinking to the floor of the intrusion. These typically host platinum-group elements (PGEs) and [nicke…
