Abstract
The low-sulfide palladium deposit North Kamennik is confined to the North platinum-bearing reef in the West Pana intrusion of the Paleoproterozoic Fedorova-Pana layered complex of the Kola Peninsula. The main ore body of this deposit is accompanied by underlying ore bodies, which is not typical of other sites of the North Reef (e.g., Kievey deposit). The lower ore bodies, differing from the main one in composition of the host rocks and geochemical characteristics, are divided into three types. The conducted mineralogical studies allow us to determine each ore type according to the PGM assemblage — stannide-telluride (type 1), arsenide-sulfide-telluride (type 2) and sulfide-telluride (type 3). Mineralogical finds have been made within the ore bodies of stannide-telluride and arsenide-sulfide-telluride PGM assemblages and are presented by arsenopalladinite, isomertieite and kojonenite (new minerals for the North Reef).
