Lateritization
The nickel ore occurs in various forms, such as nickel silicate of the remaining/primary crust, and iron–nickel ore, redeposited or secondary-crust nickel-silicate crust ore. ... Many lateritic deposits have been buried by colluvium and alluvium. Despite these changes, the distribution of Au remains broadly similar to that of savanna ...

Supergene Nickel Deposits-Origins and Features
Lateritic nickel ore occurs as a supergene or residual deposit as a result of the tropical weathering of underlying ultramafic rocks. The mineralisation may be as hydrated Ni-Mg silicates, like garnierite (silicate ore); or as hydrated Ni-Fe oxide (oxide) ore. Non-sulphide ore represents only 30% of the tonnage mined, but represents 85% of the total world's …

Nickel Deposits of
nickel ore deposits are closely associated with mafic and ultramafic in trusive rocks, and the nickel in the ore bodies was probably derived either from the intrusives themselves or from similar rocks at depth. Thus the original source of most of the nickel ore bodies found in North America and elsewhere in the world was probably the mantle.
