*Major tectonic elements and Devonian and early Carboniferous metallogenic belts for northeast Asia*

This volume will contain, upon completion, a series of interpretative articles on themetallogenesis and tectonics of Northeast Asia. The volume consists of the followingchapters and appendices.

Chapters A through C provide an overview of the geology and metallogenesis of theregion, an explanation of the methodology of regional metallogenic and tectonic analysisemployed for the project, and descriptions of mineral deposit models (types) for theproject. Chapters D through H provide descriptions of the characteristics andinterpretations of the origins of the major geologic units, metallogenic belts, and majormineral deposits for a series of time slices that range from the Archean to the Present.Chapter I presents a description of an integrated metallogenic and tectonic model for theregion. And chapter J presents (1) a dynamic tectonic and metallogenic model for theregion, and (2) a comprehensive series of geologic maps, mineral deposit location map,and metallogenic belt maps, and descriptions of map units for the region.
