Tungsten deposits are usually associated with granitic intrusions that record a long and complex evolution of the magmatic-hydrothermal system. However, the genetic link between magmatic-hydrothermal evolution and tungsten mineralization remains unclear. The Xihuashan tungsten deposit in South China, an important vein-type wolframite deposit, is closely associated with greisen and multiphase intrusive activity that produced biotite granite, two-mica granite, and muscovite granite. From the biotite granite to the two-mica granite to the muscovite granite, micas vary from siderophyllite to lithian siderophyllite, with decreasing K/Rb and Nb/Ta ratios and increasing Rb and Cs contents. The zoned micas in the muscovite granite and greisen display fluorine-depleted rims, reflecting subsolidus replacement by external aqueous fluids. The presence of siderite indicates a Fe-, Mn-, and CO 2 -rich fluid under reducing conditions. The micas in the greisen have higher-F contents and lower Fe 3+ /Fe 2+  ratios than those in the muscovite granite, suggesting that the fluids contributing to greisen formation had a relatively high-fluorine content and were reduced. The increase of CO 2  in the fluid enhanced its ability to unlock W from melts/rocks into fluids. The reducing environment also facilitated the tungsten mineralization. During greisenization, the pH value of the fluid increased, which destabilized the polymeric tungstates to form WO 4  2  – . The mixture of W-rich solution and Fe-, Mn-rich external fluid eventually precipitated as vein-type wolframite in favorable locations. An empirical equation (Li 2 O = 0.0748 × F 2  + 0.0893 × F) was introduced for estimating the Li 2 O contents of hydrothermal micas using the F contents determined by EPMA.
