The term “superlarge ore deposits (SOD)” means that it’s lower limit of the ore reserve should be 5 times that of large size deposit. It can be devided basically into two types: the conventional and the non conventional ones. There may be a transitional type. The SODs are generally confined to one or two types of mineralization. In China, the SOD are distributed mainly on the borders of cratons or the craton edges. There are tight relationships between Pb isotope geochemical steep zones and setting of SOD along with main mineralization zones. Six new mineralization provinces for the exploration of SOD have been proposed. The Himalayan and Jinning movements are respectively important metallogenetic epoch for eastern and southern China. In addition, discussion has been made on the stretch possibility of SOD in neighbour countries to China. A brief introduction is given for the basic researches being carried on in SOD of China and the fronts of SOD studies in the world are reviewed.
