Abstract

The Rganovo deposit (Republic of Macedonia) is a
typical representative of unique reworked lateritic Fe–
Ni deposits in the well-known Vardar ophiolite zone of
the Balkan Peninsula (Fig. 1). The Rganovo mine was
developed over 30 years with brief gaps. Since the
1980s, approximately 11.2 million tons of ores with an
average nickel content of 0.92–0.94% were produced
by this mine. During the last two years, ore reserves at
deep levels of the deposit were thoroughly reassessed.
These works were accompanied by scientific investigations, which made it possible to analyze the new geological data, study the mineralogical–geochemical
properties of ores from this deposit using advanced
analytical methods, and specify, based on these materials, their formation model.
