Cover Story: The geochemical affinity of Ti with HFSE (Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf) and other transition and base metals (Fe, Cr, V, Sn, Sb, Mo, W) makes TiO2 polymorphs potential minerals to exhibit anomalous metal enrichments related to ore-forming systems. The main compositional differences are related to intrinsic (structural) factors, and to the P–T–X extrinsic parameters of their forming environments. Alluvial heavy mineral analysis combined with the geochemical characterization of TiO2 polymorphs was found to be a good proxy for magmatic and/or metasomatic hydrothermal processes, enabling discrimination between Sn-dominant and W-dominant systems. This approach can be a robust, cost- and time-effective exploration tool for Sn(W) and W(Sn) ore deposit systems. View this paper
