Expertise and skills
    Economic geology and exploration, ore geochemistry, orogenses and metallogeneses: Experiences focus on porphyry Cu (Mo, Au), Vein Au-Ag-Pb-Zn, epithermal Au-Ag, magmatic Cu-Ni-PGE and VMS Cu-Pb-Zn deposits.
    In some aspects as magmatism and associated porphyry-skarn, vein-type and epithermal Cu-Mo-Pb-Zn- Ag-Au metallogenic systematics and exploration assessment in Manchuria area, VHMS Pb-Zn-Cu deposits in Altay, metallogenic environment comparison of large-superlarge copper deposits between China and the rest of the world, and Cu-Au-Ni metallogeny and prospecting prediction in Eastern Tianshan, Xinjiang, he has made some new understanding and essential contribution for practical prospecting. He is the main discoverer of the Kalatage HS-epithermal Au-Cu deposit in Eastern Tianshan, and Sharang porphyry Mo deposit (the first case for single Mo deposit in Tibet) which have been proved to be large-scale.
