Abstract

Recent studies have confirmed the important role of halogens (Cl, F) for the transport of metals in ore deposits related to igneous rocks. New data presented in this Chapter suggest that the halogen contents of mica phenocrysts from high-K igneous suites can be used, with due caution, as a measure of gold-copper mineralization potential in continental, post-collisional, and late oceanic island arcs worldwide. The threshold value for Cl concentration for such micas is about 0.04 wt% or 400 ppm, but F is a poor discriminant, being enriched up to about 4.0 wt% in potassic rocks from both mineralized and un-mineralized environments.
