chromite deposits are found in dunite or peridotite near the contact of the cumulate and tectonite zones in ophiolites. We have identified 1,124 individual podiform chromite deposits, based on a 100-meter spatial rule, and have compiled them in a database. Of these, 619 deposits have been used to create three

2.1 Chromite and Chromite-PGE Deposits. Chromite, the only ore mineral of the steel-refining metal chromium, can be concentrated to form large ore deposits of economic significance. Principally, two types of chromite deposits are distinguished: stratiform and. podiform chromite deposits. Stratiform chromite deposits (Bushveld-type)
In the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe, the principal platinum group element (PGE)–bearing horizon, termed the main sulfide zone, is hosted in orthopyroxenites (Prendergast and Wilson, 1989).PGE mineralization has been demonstrated to occur bimodally in mafic-ultramafic intrusions, either hosted by sulfides or as discrete platinum group minerals.
Zimbabwe is the only country that has both stratiform and podiform types of chrome ores that are exploitable for ferrochrome production. South African reserves mainly occur as stratiform …
The Shurugwi deposit is one of the most important sources of metallurgical chromite in the world. These ore deposits are refractory and lumpy and are therefore perfect ferrochrome refiners. However, this type of ore is quickly depleting. Zimbabwe has total reserves of about 140 million tonnes with resources 1 ICDA Chromium mining
In the Zimbabwe craton, chromite deposits have been documented from the Shurugwi Ultramafic Complex (Cotterill 1969(Cotterill, 1979Stowe 1987), the Great Dyke (Worst, 1958(Worst,, 1960Wilson ...

There are two main types of chromite deposits: stratiform deposits and podiform deposits. Zimbabwe is the only country that contains notable chromite reserves in both stratiform and podiform deposits. Stratiform deposits. Stratiform deposits, in layered intrusions, are the main source of chromite resources and are found in South Africa, Canada ...
Zimbabwe is home to some 19% of global chrome ore reserves – the second largest in the world. Its chrome store is also of a higher grade than other international sources, with an exceptional chrome to iron ratio of 2:1. ...

Chromitites occur within an olivine-orthopyroxene-chromite cumulate sequence which was derived from a komatiitic magma.An electron microprobe study and a comparison with the mineralogy of unaltered komatiites from the Belingwe greenstone belt, Zimbabwe, strongly suggest that some of the original olivine, chromite, and orthopyroxene mineral ...
The major chromite resources of China occur in ophiolites and continental intrusions. Podiform chromite deposits are mainly developed in the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic ophiolitic mantle sequences.
