Nowhere Man

I have IT background and know zilch about geology or minerals. Forgot all my chemistry from high school days. But the announcement highlighted 'Felsic Porphyry at depth' and I see you as well as other posters mentioned it.

So I've been reading up trying to understand the significance or potential. Wikipedia says ...

--
It refers to those rocks rich in silicate minerals, magma, and rocks which are enriched in the lighter elements such as silicon, oxygen, aluminium, sodium, and potassium.

I'm not sure if Wikipedia is just giving a few example (e.g. not an exhaustive list). My question is: What potential do we expect in this 'Felsic Porphyry at depth' that should excite us?

Could you, or anyone else who understands, please elaborate?
