China's silver mines, widely distributed,are rich in resources. Although silver deposits are mainly associated with Pb Zn deposits, a number of independent silver deposits have also been discovered in recent years. There are silver deposits of different types, such as submarine volcanism and continental volcanism related deposits, intrusion related deposits, sedimentary related deposits etc. Metallogenic regularity of the national silver deposits has been summarized systematically based mainly on the data from 490 silver mineral deposits in this study. Submarine volcanic sedimentary type, continental volcanic or sub volcanic type, skarn type, hydrothermal type (including vein type and stratabound type), sedimentary metamorphic type, sedimentary type and regolith type are divided, with the first 4 treated as the most important prediction types of silver deposits. In this paper, 32 silver mineralization belts have been delineated. The map of "Spatial distribution of silver mineralization belts in China" and other series of maps finished in this study provide the theoretical basis for the evaluation and prognosis of silver resources potential in China.
