Advance in the Study of Mineralization System and Its Application to Assessment of Mineral Resources
成矿体系的研究进展及其在成矿预测中的应用

The mineralization system can be referred to as the whole group of mineral deposits located in a given region and their genetically related geological factors.The systematic study of all the regional mineralization products,which include geological,geochemical and geophysical indicators,is the main purpose and trend of the study of regional metallogeny.During the past decade,Chinese geologists divided the whole land and ocean region of China into 94 Ⅲ-grade mineralization belts,studied the regularity of each minerogenic series located in each mineralization belt,built up four main sub-systems of mineralization composed of Precambrain,Paleozoic,Mesozoic and Cenozoic stages,set up a four-stage evolution model for China’s crust and continent mineralization system,and drew up a digital system for the mineralization system based on GIS and geological expert,thus providing a new means for geological survey and exploration of mineral resources.
