Centre for Russian and Central Asian Mineral Studies (CERCAMS)

CERCAMS-5 Workshop

Nickel Deposits of Russia

The Natural History Museum, London

4-5th November 2004

Following on from four successful workshops, CERCAMS-5 will focus on Russian nickel (+PGE) deposits. Russia is currently the world's biggest nickel producer with anticipated potential for increasing its reserves.

Previous workshops have attracted international participants, linking researchers from Russia and the Central Asian states with the mining industry and international academics.

Confirmed presentations will include reviews of magmatic sulphide nickel (+PGE) deposits, highlighting Norilsk, Kola-Karelia and Kamchatka. In addition reviews of the nickel and PGE potential of Russia will be presented by the All Russia Geological Research Institute (St Petersburg) and the Central Scientific Research Institute for Geology and Prospecting (Moscow). Oral presentations will be supplemented by poster and sample displays.
