The metallogenesis theory, based and constructed on the classic plate tectonics, has been coming to its perfection and can better explain the evolution mechanism of accretion orogenic metallogenesis and converged margin mineralization. The theory, however, fails to interpret both the collisional orogenic metallogenesis and continental collision mineralization. This study proposed a new, systematical metallogenesis theory of continental collision, herein simply named “The Metallagenesis of Continental Collision (MCC)”, after the detailed research of the collisional orogeny and metallogenesis in the Tibet- Qinghai Plateau and the comparison with the Qinling orogenic belt and other collisional orogenic belts. It is suggested in the theory that the main-collisional intracontinental accretion settings, the late-collisional transitional settings, and post-collisional crustal extension setting in response to the three-stage collisional processes, are the dominant metallogenic environments of the continental collision metallogenesis and large-scale deposits.
