Abstract:
Last decade, the Chinese scientists have achieved a series of important progresses in researching of mineralization of the endogenic metal deposits. These progresses can be integrated into a mineralization theory which is called as “metallogenic theory by transmagmatic fluids”. Differing with the traditional magmatic hydrothermal metallogeny, the magma and the orebearing fluid were regarded as two independent geological systems. Their coupling improves the transport process of the oreforming materials, and their decoupling triggers the mineralization processes. This theory emphasizes the gross features for mineralgenic prognosis and hence improves the efficiency of prospecting mineral resources. The author aimed at simply introducing the theoretical model in terms of mineralization related to the highlevel igneous rocks.

Key words: transmagmatic fluid, endogenic metal deposit, mineralization, highlevel igneous rock, metallogenic system
