Arsenic-bearing minerals can be viewed as useful ore guides because quartz veins with associated arsenic are a volumetrically important component in sediment-hosted stratiform deposits and occur in most non-stratiform deposits. However, sulphur is generally more reliable than arsenic as a guide for gold. 1, record 2, English, - ore%20guide

Autour d'un même dépôt, on peut observer souvent une zonalité de l'altération, c'est-à-dire des «halos» successifs, de composition minéralogique et chimique différentes.
