Features: This book is based on the new theories of modern mineralization and the adoption of new techniques in exploration geology. Through an in-depth and detailed study of metamorphism, magmatic activity, tectonic movements, and the activation, migration, concentration, and mineralization of metal elements in the adjacent areas of Inner Mongolia-Gansu-Xinjiang (the Beishan region), it explores the collision, docking, and orogenic processes of ancient continental plates; defines the boundaries of each major tectonic unit; presents the first relatively comprehensive and systematic elaboration of the relationship between the tectonic evolution, magmatic activity, and the mineralization of precious and non-ferrous metal deposits (localities) in the Beishan region; clarifies the geological conditions and spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of metal deposits (localities); summarizes the mineralization patterns and exploration indicators of this region; divides the mineralized districts, mining fields, and exploration prospects; establishes mineralization models and exploration models for typical precious and non-ferrous metal deposits (localities) in the area, and finally points out the directions for general exploration and prospecting, as well as the localization prediction of metal deposits (localities); delineates a number of copper and gold exploration prospects with good potential. The achievements mentioned above undoubtedly hold significant importance for deepening the understanding of the fundamental geology and mineralization theories of precious and non-ferrous metal deposits in this region, as well as guiding the exploration and prospecting work of such deposits. This book is of great reference value for professionals, educators, and researchers in related fields.
