  The New Caledonia nickel laterite ore deposit, developed at the top of the Peridotite Nappe, hosts about 20% of the nickel resources worldwide. In order to better understand the formation of this deposit, our study, focusing on the Koniambo Massif, is not restricted to the ore zone but concerned with the whole peridotite pile. Our approach combined: i) the analysis of the internal deformation of the massif, ii) the isotopic characterization of quartz and magnesite veins which are suspected to represent by-products of the laterization process, iii) the 3D modelling of the laterite nickel ore deposit, based on a dataset of ~6000 subsurface boreholes and the study of some outcrops located into the mineralized area. The spatial and temporal evolution of the deformation associated with serpentinization is described across the ~800 m-thick rock pile of the Koniambo Massif. The 3D characterization of the nickel distribution in the saprolite level, at both deposit and outcrop scales, gives evidence for processes implying not only vertical (as commonly assumed) but also lateral nickel redistribution. This lateral transport is mechanical or associated with fluids and leads to significant local enrichments. The isotopic characterization of the quartz veins associated with garnieritic ore shows that they formed under low temperature hydrothermal conditions. The structural and isotopic (coupling “stable isotope” and “clumped isotope thermometry”) characterization of the magnesite veins located at the serpentine sole shows that they are syn-tectonic and derived from low temperature meteoric water. As a result, we propose that active tectonics has enhanced the infiltration of the meteoric waters involved in the laterization process down to the base of the nappe. Show less
