Abstract: Metallogenic prediction research history is closely related to human's mineral exploration. With the increasing difficulty of prospecting, it's indicated that metallogenic prediction can be an important guide to mineral exploration. An important characteristic of modern geosciences is breach of discipline the restriction. Thus focus on the whole geosciences, to conduct jointly inter-disciplinary research, we can obtain theoretical and technical innovations. This paper has summarized characteristics of several existing metallogenic prediction methods, such as "three-step" solid mineral resources evaluation method form USA, Vacancy of Metallogenic Series Prediction, Synthetic Metallogenic Prognosis Method Based on GIS, Artificial nerve network, and Multi-fractal non-linear methods for mineral resource prediction, which will provide useful reference to metallogenic prediction in future.
