Large and superlarge mineral deposits have abundant mineral reserves and special metallogenic characteristics as well as considerable economic value and strategic significance. According to rough estimates, large and superlarge mineral deposits only account for 5%～10% of the total deposits but provide 30%～50% of the world’s mineral resources/reserves. They play a decisive role in the sustainable economic and social development in a certain country or even in the whole world. The World Metallogenic Map of Large and Superlarge Mineral Deposits on the scale of 1:25 000 000 was compiled by Pei Rongfu, D. V. Rundquist, Mei Yanxiong and some others in 2006 and published by the Geological Publishing House in 2009. It is characterized by large-scale mineralizations of copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, nickel, tungsten, tin, lead and zinc. The most important metallogenic epochs are Mesozoic-Cenozoic.
