Abstract

The trace element abundance and distribution in ore deposits is important because ore deposits contain anomalies for many elements other then those which are mined. Trace element distribution may help to understand the genetic process and evolution of an ore deposit, and can be used as a powerful exploration tool.

Geochemical data of trace elements in high sulfidation deposits are not abundant (e.g., Nansatsu, Japan; Rodalquilar, Spain and Pueblo Viejo, Dominican Republic). In this study we present the first trace element data from the Cerro Quema Au-Cu high sulfidation epithermal deposit (Panama). The present work is based on analyses of Au, Ag, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, S, As, Ba, Sb, Mn, Hg and W from surface and drill core samples of the deposit. Our aim is to know the trace element concentration, distribution and association in order to be used as an exploration tool.
