Mao Jingwen is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a mineral deposit geology and mineral exploration scientist. 记者了解到，近年来，毛景文院士通过执行国际自然科学基金国际(地区)合作与交流项目和重点项目，组织国际知名专家共同对玻利维亚锡铜银多金属成矿规律开展了系统研究，取得了多项创新性成果，并在《Geology》等国际权威学术期刊发表多篇高质量论文。2023年，毛景文院士率领科研团队赴玻利维亚高校和政府机构进行授课讲学，宣传最新研究成果，并调研多个矿业企业，为企业发展提供建设性意见，同时助推中国企业到玻利维亚开展找矿勘查和投资开发，通过企业合作，拉动当地经济发展，上述系列活动得到了当地政府、企业和社会各界的积极评价。

This award is not only a full affirmation of Academician Mao Jingwen's work, but also represents the international community's high recognition of Chinese scientific researchers in promoting high-quality international exchanges and cooperation.

Introduction to Academician

Mao Jingwen (-December 1956), elected academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2017, is a mineral deposit geology and mineral exploration scientist.

Academician Mao Jingwen is from Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. Graduated from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in 1988 with a doctorate. He is currently a researcher at the Institute of Mineral Resources of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, director of the Key Laboratory of Mineralization and Resource Evaluation of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and director of the Mineral Deposits Professional Committee of the Chinese Geological Society. He has served as deputy director of the Institute of Mineral Resources of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and chairman of the International Association for Mineral Deposit Genesis.

Academician Mao Jingwen has long been committed to the study of mineral deposit models and metallogenic laws and prospecting and exploration. In response to the large-scale intraplate metallogenic events during the Yanshan period in eastern China, he innovatively constructed the intraplate metallogenic dynamics model by solving the temporal and spatial distribution laws, material distribution laws and structural control laws. The intraplate metallogenic dynamics model has been developed, the metallogenic theory has been developed, and the prospecting and exploration deployment has been effectively guided. The 10 sets of mineral deposit combination models proposed by him have been used by relevant geological prospecting units and mining companies for prospecting and exploration, promoting major breakthroughs in the prospecting of concealed ores. As the first winner, Academician Mao Jingwen won one second prize in the National Natural Science Award, two second prizes in the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and four first prizes and second prizes in the Provincial and Ministerial Science and Technology Award. In 2018, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Association of Mineral Deposit Genesis.
