The Middle-Lower Yangtze River Valley Metallogenic Belt( MLYB) is one of the most important metallogenic belts in eastern China. It contains many important porphyry deposits( e. g., Tongshankou Cu-Mo, Jiguanzui Cu-Au, Baiyunshan Cu,Chengmenshan Cu-Mo,Wushan Cu-Mo,Fengshandong Cu-Au,Dingjiashan Cu,Yangjishan Au,Shaxi Cu-Au,Dongguashan Cu-Au,Shujiadian Cu and Anjishan Cu deposits). In this paper,we summarize the geological characteristics including the stratigraphy,structure,ore-bearing porphyry types,vein types and wall rock alteration,geochronology and geochemistry of the typical porphyry deposits in the MLYB and present a new metallogenic model. Through detailed field investigations and a review of published data,we conclude that the magmatism and mineralization of porphyry deposits in the MLYB mainly occurred in the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous( ca. 149 ~ 105Ma),which can be divided into three stages: 149 ~ 135 Ma,133 ~ 125 Ma and 123 ~ 105 Ma and distributed in uplift zones. The Early( ca. 149 ~ 135Ma) and Late( ca. 123 ~ 105Ma) stages developed skarn mineralization,whereas the Middle( ca. 133 ~ 125Ma) stage did not. Ore-bearing porphyries belong to the high-K calc-alkaline / calc-alkaline series,with adakitic geochemical signatures,which probably originated from the mixing of an enriched mantle-derived magma and the partial melting products of the thickened lower crust. The enriched mantle-derived mafic magma component played an important role in the prophyry mineralization by supplying sufficient fluids,sulfur( S) and metals( e. g.,Cu and Au). Compared with typical porphyry deposits developed in magmatic arc settings in North America,Chile,etc.,porphyry deposits in the MLYB do not contain advanced argillic lithocaps or high-to intermediate-sulfidation systems,and the origin of the magma and the sources of ore-forming elements are also very different.
