Geochemistry of platinum group elements and rhenium in rocks and chromitites of mafic-ultramafic massifs of Sakhalin Island

The results of study of the platinum potential of mafic-ultramafic massifs and their complexes in different world regions, including Russia, were summarized by Dodin et al. [2001]. Later, the platinum potential of chromite deposits of different genetic types was considered, and a scheme of assumed Pt-metallogenic regionalization of Russia was proposed [Dodin et al., 2003]. Sakhalin Island is also among the Pt-promising areas.
