Abstract
Taking the South China Tungsten Province as representative, this paper deals systematically with the geological setting, geometry, paragenesis, wallrock alteration, and geochemical characteristics of Asian vein-type tungsten deposits on the basis of data acquired since the 1970's. The regional metallogenic conditions and the genesis of the deposits are discussed. The large-scale distribution of vein-type tungsten deposits in Asia is inferred to be controlled by tungsten-enriched formations, multi-period and multi-stage granitic activity, and favourable tectonic environment. The deposits are not only controlled by magmatic differentiation, but also by the overall evolution of the continental crust.
