Resource - Nickel
Description
Nickel is not a major constituent of the Martian crust itself but is enriched in meteorites that have impacted the surface, such as iron-nickel meteorites like "Heatshield Rock," which was found to be composed of 93% iron and 7% nickel. These meteorites, along with other fragments like "Barberton" and "Allan Hills," are evidence of extraterrestrial material contributing to the surface composition. In addition to meteoritic nickel, nickel has been detected in specific geological contexts, such as dendritic and subspherical concretions in the Pahrump Hills and Hartmann's Valley, where it correlates with magnesium and sulfur. The discovery of high-grade nickel and copper in Jezero crater suggests that ultramafic rocks, which are rich in nickel, may be more common on Mars than previously thought.
