Abstract

Mineral composition of chromitites of the Apshak area in the northwestern part of the South Kraka massif (the largest representative of the Kraka group ophiolites), which is confined to the northern closure of the Zilair Synclinorium on the western slope of the South Urals, is studied. Most chromitite occurrences are composed of high-Cr spinels (55.0–66.0 wt. % Cr2O3,
