ABSTRACT
Occurrences and deposits of massive and disseminated chromitites, differing in size, location, body structure, and chemical composition of ores, are known in many mafic-ultramafic massifs of ophiolite associations. They are also present in massifs located in the folded structures of the Urals, Kazakhstan, West and East Sayan, Koryakia, Chukchi Region, Mongolia, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Albania, Bulgaria, New Caledonia, Cuba, etc. [Büchl et al., 2004; Kocks et al., 2007; Saveliev et al., 2008; Zaccarini et al., 2009]. Research in chromitite deposits and assessment of their platinum potential are still topical problems, particularly in Russia suffering from a scarcity of this type of mineral resources [Dodin et al., 2003].
