A review of current knowledge about occurrences of Sb±As±Au mineralization in the Tyrrhenian Sea area, from Corsica (France) to Tuscany (Italy), is presented and discussed. The area was exploited for Sb and As until the last century and was subsequently explored by the French Geological Survey and the Italian Ministry at the end of the 20th century. We summarize the key results of mineral exploration and research regarding geochemical anomalies, fluid inclusions and mineralogy, and provide a geological model. This contribution highlights similarities and differences between Corsica and Tuscany, as well as the importance of these occurrences of mineralizations in the light of new perspectives in the field of Critical Raw Materials.

Abstract
A review of current knowledge about occurrences of Sb±As±Au mineralization in the Tyrrhenian Sea area, from Corsica (France) to Tuscany (Italy), is presented and discussed. The area was exploited for Sb and As until the last century and was subsequently explored by the French Geological Survey and the Italian Ministry at the end of the 20th century. We summarize the key results of mineral exploration and research regarding geochemical anomalies, fluid inclusions and mineralogy, and provide a geological model. This contribution highlights similarities and differences between Corsica and Tuscany, as well as the importance of these occurrences of mineralizations in the light of new perspectives in the field of Critical Raw Materials.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
