This study evaluates a-CI-Br systematic of fluid inclusions in fluorites from "Berbes-La Cabaña" and "La Collada" districts in Asturias (N of Spain). The fluorites were formed as H2O-NaCI-Ca2CI fluids represented by primary inclusions (Lw1) showing moderate salinity (Tm:-12.4º to -6.6ºC) and homogenization temperature between 130º to 150ºC. Lw2 inclusions are secondary with low salinity (Tm:-2.9 to -2.7°C) and global homogenization ranging between 130° to 135ºC. Hypersaline Lw-s inclusions have distinguished in La Collada district. The high salinity of these inclusions could be explained as resulting of reequilibration processes. Comparison of Na-CI-Br compositions show fundamental differences in halogen chemistry between two regions. Crush-leach extraction and chemical analysis of the inclusions from "Berbes-La Cabaña fluorites reveals that the fluid chemistry is influenced by the fluid-rock interaction with Na-Ca exchange. The low concentration of Br suggest a brine derived from halite dissolution by reaction with evaporites. In contrast, CI/ Br and Na/Br decrease strongly in brines from "La Collada" fluorites and are similar to modern seawater. These halogen ratios are consistent with salutes derived from evaporation of seawater.
