  • Very little nickel is mined from meteor impact areas as a direct result of impact, with the main exception of Sudbury, Canada area mines, and that is mostly (almost every atom) terrestrial nickel there as well.
    In prehistoric times nickel-iron from small-ish meteors was used, but was still extremely rare overall.
    A minor nickel-iron deposit in northern Chile was from the discovery of an oxidized, reasonably large, ancient meteorite found in the 1950-70's (?) but the meteoric metal was exhausted primarily by hand mining in a just few years.
    Most meteors that would make mining-size footprints are vaporized on impact, as was the Sudbury meteor. The nickel in Sudbury comes from a very large body of molten rock solidifying and differentiating in situ after melting as a result of the impact. The rock was already somewhat nickel-enriched to begin with.
    The nickel in Russia is mostly mined from large hydrothermally overprinted magmatic segregation deposits hosted in Archean to Proterozoic rocks. Analogous occurrences are found in the Canadian arctic, but are not economic due to high North American labour costs and poor infrastructure.
