There is a apparent developing trend that research on the geological origin model of mineralization system, during the study of mineral deposit model of worldwide. That is, it is constructed that mineral deposit series origin model consists of a variety of deposites with a certain affiliation relationship. In this paper, a review has drawn on the research current situation of epithermal deposit (volcanic-hosted epithermal systems) in recent years. Finaly, a suggestion has put forword about this mineral deposits research and approach in our country.
