The goldrich porphyry copper deposits, one group of porphyry deposits, have aroused much interest among geologists after 1970s. On the basis of previous researches in classification, distribution, geological epochs, regional tectonic settings, intrusive rock compositions, and hydrothermal alterationmineralization types, a great amount of progresses have been made in recent years, which can be summarized in following five aspects. ① Goldrich porphyry Cu deposits can be found worldwide and most of them are large scale. ② The most goldrich porphyry Cu deposits discovered are concentrated in Cenozoic and Mesozoic, commonly Tertiary. ③ Goldrich porphyry Cu deposits occur commonly in magmatic arc settings at convergent plate boundaries, but a great number of such deposits are found recently in the continental collision belt, even in intracontinental environments. ④ Most of the orebearing porphyry are calcalkaline magmas series, but part of deposits of this kind are closely related to highK calcalkaline and shoshonotic magmas. And finally, the enrichment of gold in Curich porphyrytype deposits has little relation with geotectonic setting, metallogenic age, intrusive rock compositions, wallrock composition, hydrothermal alterationmineralization types, but are controlled by mantle magma process, magmahydrothermal process and hydrothermal process.
