Abstract
![CDATA[It is a surprising fact that, despite the increasing number of secondary minerals of Ni(II) recognized from oxidized base metal deposits (Anthony et al. 2003), the supergene chemistry responsible for their formation remains poorly understood. An understanding of this chemistry would be desirable in view of its importance with respect to geochemical exploration for the element, its behaviour in the regolith and the potential development of commercially exploitable secondary nickel resources. Of the secondary nickel minerals known, gaspéite, NiCO3, is perhaps the most common and has been observed in a number of Western Australian deposits.]]
