The five main deposits of the NNP follow an east-west trend spanning approximately 50 km from east to west as follows: Allamaq, Mesamax, Expo, Mequillon and lvakkak deposits.All the magmatic Ni-Cu deposits at the Nunavik Nickel Project have essentially the same mineralogy. Petrographic work (Walker 2004a, 2004b) identified pyrrhotite (Fe1-XS) as the main sulphide mineral, followed by pentlandite ([Fe,Ni]S) and chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). Pentlandite occurs generally as a separate mineral and only rarely as exsolution lamellae in pyrrhotite. Pentlandite appears to be the main cobalt carrier. Niccolite (NiAs) and violarite (Ni, Fe)3S4 occur only rarely or are entirely absent. Intergrowth of both pentlandite and chalcopyrite with silicate minerals, particularly with serpentine, can be intricate. Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a minor constituent of the rock, the result of the breakdown of the original olivine into serpentine plus magnetite.
