    Abstract:

    Tungsten mineral resources are abundant with relatively complete types of deposits, including the larger tungsten reservers of skarn type and quartz vein type, and the most important wolframite quartz vein type in terms of exploitation and utilization. The skarn type tungsten deposits centralize in central Nanling region such as south Hunan Province, while quartz vein type tungsten depostis are concentrated in South China. The most important metallogenic age of tungsten is Mesozoic,while the metallogenic tectonic setting is featured by intra continental environment after orogeny with severe tectonic movements, deep seated faults and frequent magmatic activities, especially Mesozoic granitoids closely to tungsten tin mineralization.Besides, 22 metallogenic series of ore deposits significantly related with tungsten have been defined, based on statistics precise information system of 1199 tungsten mining areas and thorough summary of metallogenic regularity. On the studies of metallogenic regularity of tungsten deposits, the skarn type (or greisen type), quartz vein type and massif type of tungsten deposits are thought to be key prediction types, 65 tungsten forming belts and 22 key ore concentration areas displayed in the distribution map of tungsten forming belts are devided in China. Generally, the whole work provides theoretical basis for the potential evaluation.
