Review on the Change and Development of the Research Thoughts about Mineral Deposit Geology
The development and breakthrough of mineral deposit geology depends to a great extent on the progress and change of its research thoughts. From the traditional study of single mineral, single deposit and single metallogenic model to the comprehensive discussion and whole understanding of metallogenic series and metallogenic system, mineral deposit geology handles the complex relation about the parts and the whole, the unilateralism and the full-scale, the individual and the groups, the quality and the quantity, the time and the space properly. The change incarnates systemic and dialectic philosophical thinking.
