Spinifex-textured olivine plates hosted in sulfides are usually named “interspinifex ore” in komatiite-hosted sulfide deposits. This ore type is rare but provides important genetic information on sulfide deposits, komatiite volcanology and thermomechanical erosion processes. Occurrences in Victor South-McLeay and Moran South (Kambalda, Western Australia) differ significantly from previously reported occurrences in their stratigraphic location, position within the ore profile and textural appearance. Thus, their formation process has to be reconsidered. Interspinifex ore reported here is situated in the lower portion of the basal lava flow between massive and net-textured sulfides in the centre of the embayment and between massive sulfides and older basalt in a “pinchout” where the sulfides melted sideways into older basalt on the embayment edge. Interspinifex ore is composed of up to 10-cm-long aggregates of parallel plates in the upper portion of massive sulfides and is overlain by barren komatiite. The texture does not allow for a classic single explanation. Thus, two possible formation mechanisms are envisaged: (1) A younger komatiite melt intrudes into its own olivine and sulfide liquid cumulate pile, while the sulfides are still liquid. The injection on top of the sulfides causes the formation of an emulsion, from which the spinifex forms due to the temperature gradient between the melts. (2) Interspinifex ore is a relic of an early komatiite flow formed in a series of successive pulses of komatiite and sulfide liquid. The spinifex of the komatiite is invaded by a younger batch of sulfide liquid replacing interstitial silicate melt.
