This study focuses on the mineralogy and geochemistry of the submarine mine tailings and underlying natural marine sediments from the inner part of Repparfjorden, as well as on the primary Ulveryggen ore. The ore mineralization from the neighboring Nussir carbonate sediment-hosted Cu deposit was studied too, due to the forthcoming mining of both deposits. Bornite and chalcopyrite are the major Cu-sulfides, and are characterized by low concentrations of potentially toxic elements including Cd, Hg, and As. The tailing material occupies the uppermost 9 cm of Repparfjorden sediments. It is characterized by predomination of a silty component with elevated Cu (up to 747.7 ppm), Ni (up to 87 ppm), and Cr (up to 417 ppm) concentrations. The high Cu concentration is related to the deposition of mine tailings. In contrast, Ni and Cr concentrations are close to those in naturally occurring stream sediments from the feeding river, Repparfjordelva, reflecting the compatibility of these elements with hosting mafic volcanics, which are widely spread in the Repparfjord Tectonic Window. Copper in the uppermost part of the sediments is bound to the acid-soluble fraction while Ni and Cr are bound to the residual fraction. Artificial placement of large masses of fine-grained material, i.e., smothering, resulted in a diminished biological activity and\/or physical distortion of mostly benthic fauna, which was reflected in total organic carbon (TOC) values as low as 0.15% in the uppermost strata. Sulfide minerals are found both in natural marine sediments and in the mine tailings. They are generally well-preserved with an exception for chalcopyrite from the uppermost part of the submarine tailing, which shows signs of incipient weathering. Thermodynamic modeling confirmed that redox potential and pH are important factors in the weathering of sulfides. Available ligands contribute to the Cu speciation. In near-neutral to slightly alkaline conditions a presence of carbonates can lead to the mobilization of Cu in form of CuCO3 complexes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/min10020169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,14]],"date-time":"2020-02-14T10:09:57Z","timestamp":1581674997000},"page":"169","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Stability of Cu-Sulfides in Submarine Tailing Disposals: A Case Study from Repparfjorden, Northern Norway"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7784-6982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yulia","family":"Mun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, UiT\u2014The Arctic University of Norway, Dramsveien 201, 9037 Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8468-6569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabina","family":"Strmi\u0107 Palinka\u0161","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, UiT\u2014The Arctic University of Norway, Dramsveien 201, 9037 Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6153-5891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthias","family":"Forwick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, UiT\u2014The Arctic University of Norway, Dramsveien 201, 9037 Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]},{"given":"Juho","family":"Junttila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, UiT\u2014The Arctic University of Norway, Dramsveien 201, 9037 Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]},{"given":"Kristine Bondo","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Akvaplan-Niva, 9007 Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0892-7583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beata","family":"Sternal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geology, Geohazards Lab, Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna\u0144, Bogumi\u0142a Krygowskiego 12, 61-680 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Neufeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, UiT\u2014The Arctic University of Norway, Dramsveien 201, 9037 Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1021-585X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Darko","family":"Tiblja\u0161","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Horvatovac 95, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0260-8872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K\u00e5re","family":"Kullerud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Mining Museum, P.O.
