Brief data about structure and nickel content of Kamchatka Sredinny massif is presented. Physical properties of rocks and copper-nickel ores were analyzed; massif characteristic in geophysical fields was made. Nickeliferous intrusions of Dukukski complex were referred to a group of non-magnetic rocks of high density; it gives an opportunity to reveal them on the maps of geophysical fields and to forecast new perspective territories. Rb-Sr isochron of 49.2 ±2.7 Ma obtained for nickeliferous intrusions of Shanuch deposit corresponds to Eocene.
