Saprolites
The fabric of the saprolite is related to the original lithic fabric, which is most obvious in the lower saprolite (Fig. 1).As the primary minerals weather, voids develop and secondary minerals are formed, which can cause the break-up of the lithic fabric in the upper saprolite (see also Stoops & Schaefer, 2010, this book).Saprolites on gneiss, …

Study of mixing saprolite with limonite in selective …
The results showed that the optimal process for limonite and saprolite was generated by adding 0.2 stoichiometry reductant. In the saprolite reduction process, ferronickel's nickel grade is higher, but the recovery is lower than limonite. Mixing saprolite with limonite increased the ferronickel particle size, increasing nickel recovery.

Lateritic soil sequences are formed from the weathering of rocks in circumstances conducive to leaching and oxidation; limonite is formed higher up in the sequence, with saprolite lower in the orebody. Indonesian nickel ore grades for limonite are generally in the range of 0.8% to 1.5%; for saprolite they may exceed 1.8%.

Limonite
In the Dahlonega gold belt in Lumpkin County, Georgia gold was mined from limonite rich lateritic or saprolite soil. The gold of the primary veins was concentrated into the limonites of the deeply weathered rocks. In another example the deeply weathered iron formations of Brazil served to concentrate gold with the limonite of the resulting soils.
