This paper presents the distribution characteristics of metallic mineral deposits since Hercynian cy- cles within East Sumatra Terrane and West Sumatra Terrane (Indonesia) separately. The strata-bound Pb-Zn deposits are dominant in sedimentological basins in East Sumatra Terrane within Hercynian cycle, and the Ag, Cu and Pb-Zn mineralizations of skarn-type occur in West Sumatra Terrane. The Indosinian cycle's fin-miner- alization is related to the intrusion of S-granitoids (220 - 195 Ma) and to the deep strike-sliping activity of Me- dia Sumatra Fault Zone at Central Sumatra. The Early Yanshanian cycle's Cu-Au mineralization occur in the died ancient rifting valley and arc island environment at the continental margin. The Sn and Au-Ag mineraliza- tion in volcanic arc was caused by arc-continent collision during Late Yanshanian cycle. The Au-Ag mineral- izations of magmatic arc within Himalayan cycle were related to the Sumatra Fault and Barisan Fault Zone that were caused by the oblique subduction of Indian-Australia crust beneath Sumatra.
