Xiangshan ore field occurred in volcanic-intrusive complex body is the largest hydrothermal vein type uranium deposit in South China. This paper briefly reviews the history of geological research on Xiangshan uranium ore field and especially focuses on the new progress in the research on the uranium geology as follows: the age of volcanic complex is confirmed as Early Cretaceous, the magma of volcanic rocks is characterized by a reversal evolution, the mineralization shows a relatively continuous evolution process, the uranium deposit belongs to a porphyry type that can be classified into the uranium or uranium-polymetallogenic series related with the late Yanshanian volcano-porphyry. Finally, the future research trend is predicted.
