The data from the US Geological Survey's official Web site: www.usgs.com and some publications in recent years were collected and uptodate results from the study of geoenvironment of mineral deposits was summarized. The USGS recent studies were mainly focused on the geoenvironmental models of mineral deposits (32 different types of deposits including volcanicassociated massive sulfide deposits, Sedex, porphyry Cu, Carlintype Au and Mississippivalley type PbZn), geochemical background and baseline of mineral deposits and mines, comprehensive study on watershed environmental characterization of mineral deposits, specific study of environmental effects in particular mineral deposits. USGS intensive research on the geoenvironment of mineral resources gives the traditional geologists in China a good example of how to survive the hardship because of thrinking mine industry in highly competitive academic world. Based on the studies of USGS and China's current situation, the authors suggest that it would be highly recommendable for China Geological Survey to initiate the likelihood study of geoenvironment models of mineral deposits and environmental assessment indexes of strategic mineral deposits using the data from mineral resource survey and exploration as soon as possible.
