Summary This volume was conceived as a handbook for geologists involved in the exploration for, and exploitation of, nickel deposits hosted in the komatites of the Yilgarn craton. It covers the essential disciplines - geology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and geophysics - which are crucial not only to exploration but also to successful mining and processing of the ore. Its scope expanded to make it useful to geologists working in Archean terranes and on ultramafic rocks worldwide.
