摘要
This Special Issue of Ore Geology Reviews,volume 36 October 2009,presents an overarching,and pioneering,new synthesis of metallogenic provinces in the Himalayan continent-continent collision:a synthesis sweeping in scope and innovative in depth,and as such the first canonical body of knowledge on Himalayan metallogenic systems.Notable are the first quantitative data on porphyry Cu-Mo deposits directly linked to the Himalayan orogen,in contradistinction to the traditional view of porphyry deposits forming at continental and intraoceanic convergent margin magmatic settings,with significant implications for exploration.
