The Uralide orogenic belt suture zone extending more is a major early Paleozoic than 3000 km in a N-S direction, and geographically divides Europe from Asia （Chemenda et al., 1997）. Ophiolites, podiform chromitites and high pressure metamorphic rocks are well developed in the orogenic belt （Leech and Ernst, 2000）.
