ABSTRACT
Rare metals are increasingly widely and indispensable in modern high-tech fields, making them more and more closely valued by countries around the world. Many countries have included them in the list of critical metals and/or strategic resources for restriction and protection, including cobalt deposits. Mainland China has different rare metal deposits with its 9.6 million square kilometers of land area. This paper summarizes the geological background, industrial category and genetic type of cobalt deposits in the East Kunlun cobalt mineralization province in the northwest of the country, and divides the cobalt deposit metallogenic series. It is hoped that this summary of the East Kunlun cobalt mineralization province in China will help the international economic geology community to compare and study the similarities and differences between Chinese cobalt deposits and similar deposits in other parts of the world, and then find out the metallogenic regularity of global cobalt mineralization, so as to find more cobalt deposits and better serve human society.
