Abstract

In this paper will be present and analyzed the data for mineralogical
composition of the weathering crust of Groot deposit. This deposit, in general, is combination of silicate nickel and redeposited nickel iron. There are several metals in the mineral association of the Groot deposit, and nickel is present in the mineral nepuite - garnierite. Except these minerals, in the Groot deposit, especially in the redeposited iron - nickel ores,
there are sulphide nickel minerals, like millerite. Ore is with characteristic oolitic - pisolitic structure which is intensive deformed as a result of post ore tectonic movements. Ore bodies are lens like with different dimensions.
Nickel content in the deposit is 1.08%, Iron content is 25.13%, and Cobalt is 0.06%. According the genesis, the Fe - Ni deposit Groot belongs to the group of laterite - redeposited type.
