The nolanite supergroup has been established and approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association. It contains eight mineral species with the nolanite-type structure. The nolanite supergroup is subdivided into three groups (nolanite, kamiokite, and rinmanite groups). After significant changes, the classification of the nolanite supergroup was approved again.

Andreybulakhite, ideally Ni(C2O4) · 2H2O, is a new oxalate mineral, which was discovered on the Kola Peninsula, Russia. Andreybulakhite forms segregations of crystals up to 2 × 1 × 1 mm in size disseminated within the fruiting bodies of Lecanora cf. polytropa lichen, whose colonies overgrow the oxidized surfaces of pyrrhotite–pentlandite–chalcopyrite ore. Andreybulakhite is named in honour of Andrey Glebovich Bulakh of Saint Petersburg State University.

Zvěstovite-(Fe) is a new, Ag-rich, member of the tetrahedrite group, the most widespread sulfosalts in ore deposits. Its discovery stresses the chemical variability of this mineral group, allowing for a better understanding of the structural plasticity of these compounds, which are able to host a plethora of different elements typical of hydrothermal environments.

Ellinaite, a natural analog of β-CaCr2O4, was discovered at Hatrurim Basin, Israel, and in an inclusion within the super-deep diamond from the Sorriso Creek placer, Brazil. Chemical composition, structural data and physical properties are given for this mineral. It is related to multiple oxides AB2O4 with tunnel structure. This group now includes eight minerals. The overview of ellinaite from all localities suggests different PT–X–fO2 conditions for the mineral and its host rocks.
