The development of geochemistry and mineral deposits promote ore deposit geochemistry to break through and get on two aspects, metallogenic theory and analyzing method. The progress of metal metallogenic theory in eight aspects are stated, such as tectonics and metallogenesis, metal metallogenic province evolution and metallogenesis, and theory research of exploring and seeking after superlarge deposit, and so on. So do the applicable situation of many high precision, and high sensitivity micro-area, microcomponent testing techniques. Moreover, the modern research frontiers of metal ore deposit geochemistry and its main scientific questions are also discussed.
