The Metallogenic Regularity Map of Nanling Metallogenic Belt (1∶800 000) compiled and published by the Institute of Mineral Resources, Chines Academy of Geological Sciences, is the most complete, up- to- date and most informative metallogenic regularity map of the zone level (III metallogenic unit) that comprehensively reflects the exploration results and metallogenic regularity of Nanling in China. Results:The research and compilation of this map has achieved four major innovations: ① It covers 2903 independent mineral fields discovered in Nanling, including 76 minerals in four categories: energy, metal, non- metal and water—gas minerals, realizing the full coverage of minerals and mineral fields in the Nanling Metallogenic Belt; ② the strata of the geological base map are merged and diluted, highlighting the characteristics of the rock mass and hidden rock mass in South China, so that the distribution pattern of geological units of different tectonic and building layers is clear at a glance; ③ the five- in- one comprehensive legend design of mineral field, size, type, era and metallogenic series have been realized, and the expression of mineral field is more concise and intuitive; ④ synthesizing metallogenic series diagrams, tables, metallogenic system diagrams, profile diagrams and so on, and compiling new ideas and methods based on regional regularity maps, the latest scientific research achievements of the Nanling Metallogenic Belt are more concentrated to reflect and highlight the latest scientific research achievements. Conclusions:The research and compilation of this map is helpful to visually display the spatial and temporal distribution pattern of minerals in the Nanling Metallogenic Belt, summarize the metallogenic regularity in depth, and scientifically delineate important prospecting prospects, which is of great significance for comprehensively guiding the geological prospecting work of Nanling Metallogenic Belt.
