隐伏矿体定位预测已随着找矿主体对象的转变成为国内外矿产勘查界普遍关注的前沿与热点之一。其有可能成为成矿理论研究与找矿勘查实践的“最佳接口”。开展隐伏矿体定位预测研究的主要趋向是探索矿体空间就位机理和定位规律及其厘定与表征方法，探索多源预测信息的有效提取与优化方法和探索隐伏矿体定位预测的有效方法组合及最佳工作程式。

 In recent years，the location prediction for hidden ore body has caught an overall attendon in the world. Based upon the analysis to the present situation of metallic deposit exploration，the discussion in this paper will be centred on present researching state and key problems of the location prediction for hidden orebody，and some new solving ways to the key problems will be suggested for theory and method，such studying the emplacement
mechaism of orebody，spreading the use of comprehensive prediction of imformation and establishig Location prediction method systems of hidden orebody.  For example，ore-controlling fault space texture include deformational texture and geometric texture，relation of fault surface waveform shear displacement and host space，the mathematical characteristics of ore bodies.  studying the space characteristics，the variation trend of mineralization in space distribution and location rule of geometrical Characteristics，the relationship between the known orebody and the shape of fault by simulating the shape of fault surface and then forecasts probable locations of deep-seated orebodies ect.
