| 1. | More intense weathering results in a continuous transition from saprolite to laterite.
|
| 2. | Similar deposits were mined near lateritic or saprolite soil.
|
| 3. | Iron compounds are the primary coloring agents in saprolites.
|
| 4. | Aquifers in Western Australia are of saprolite grit.
|
| 5. | Another 80 % is nickel extracted from saprolite.
|
| 6. | The texture, pH and mineral constituents of saprolite are inherited from its parent material.
|
| 7. | Poorly weathered saprolite grit aquifers are capable of producing groundwater, often suitable for livestock.
|
| 8. | Within the lower saprolite, violarite is transitional with unaltered pentlandite-pyrite-pyrrhotite ore.
|
| 9. | Saprolites form in the lower zones of soil profiles and represent deep weathering of the bedrock surface.
|
| 10. | The regolith is extremely deeply weathered, in some areas completely converted to saprolite up to 100 metres below surface.
