Abstract:
The research and compilation work of “Annals of Geology of Mineral Resources of China” have been through 10 years, with review of more than 180 annals and publication of 50 books. The compilation work content cover four aspects: provincial annals, national mineral (or minerals group) annals, regional annals and thematic research. The distribution characteristics of mineral resources in China has been basically identified through the compilation work, and new metallogenic theoretical understanding of REE, scattered elements, tungsten and other mineral groups has been obtained, which has enriched the research content of typical deposits. The metallogenic regularity of mineral resources in China have been summarized from multi-level and multi-dimensional dimensions, and a new generation of “five-in-one” metallogenic regularity maps have been compiled to reflect the spatial and temporal distribution of evolution regularity of strata, structure, magmatism and mineralization. The mineral deposits theory of minerogenetic series has been delved to put forward 6 orders metallogenic series sequence, which has added the highest level from previous 5 orders sequence: metallogenic system. Besides, it is proposed the systematically study of metallogenic system should be from two dimensions of time and space, so as to better explore the spatial and temporal distribution, mutual relationship and evolution of minerogenetic series for mineral deposits.
