Short summary
The Ertelien and Langedalen Ni–Cu sulfide deposits are hosted in gabbronorite intrusions formed in a convergent margin. The Ertelien deposit contains contact-related sulfides, whereas the Langedalen deposit hosts massive sulfides within extensively deformed gabbronorite lenses. Both are depleted in platinum-group elements (PGEs), which could be related to a metasomatized pyroxenitic mantle source. Isotopic data support a subduction-related origin around 1550 Ma, with magmatic signatures preserved despite later alteration.
