Abstract:
The Dataset of Metallogenic Provinces (belts) in Southern Northeast Asia (SNA) is based on the latest geosciences data of the area understudy. It takes into account the regional geo-tectonic features and metallogenic characteristics, while synthesizing the data of 1, 590 mineral occurrences in the country and abroad. In addition, it classifies the SNA as 3 metallogenic mega-provinces, 9 provinces, 43 belts, and 11 sub-belts, according to the distribution of major metallic ore deposits, types of ore deposit, metallogenic epochs, and metallogenic regularities. This dataset covers name of metallogenic provinces, belts and sub-belts, and main mineralizing elements, principle mineralizing epochs, major tectonic units, and main mineral occurrences information of metallogenic belts and sub-belts. Furthermore, this dataset provides basic geological information for trans-boundary correlative researches of metallogenesis between China and Russia, Mongolia, and North Korea bilaterally. Meanwhile, it can also guide geological researches and mineral resources exploration in the SNA.
