Abstract:This article divides China's zirconium deposits into alkaline granite type, alkaline complex type, pegmatite type, weathering crust residual slope deposit type, coastal sedimentary type, and river alluvial type. The predicted types of zirconium deposits are divided into the granite type, pegmatite type, coastal sedimentary type, river alluvial type, weathered crust and residual slope deposit type. China's zirconium ore resources are distributed in 15 provinces (autonomous regions) including Inner Mongolia, Hainan, Sichuan, and Guangdong, with zirconium ore reserves in these four provinces (autonomous regions) accounting for 93.7% of the national total. Based on the statistics, the metallogenic period of zirconium deposits in China is divided into Neoproterozoic, Late Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. 14 zirconium metallogenic belts are divided. 34 Zirconium-related metallogenic series are determined and the metallogenic pedigree of zirconium deposits in China is established. The coastal sedimentary and river alluvial zirconium deposits along the southeast coast can be used as prospects for zirconium exploration.
