Abstract:According to the 1∶50,000 stream sediments survey, large scale mineral geological mapping, geochemical comprehensive profile and exploratory trench in Heiqia to Sanshiliyingfang areas of West Kunlun, the authors evaluated the prospecting potential based on the geological characteristics of minerals, metallogenic types and prospecting rules in this region.The research indicates that there are three main types of deposits in this area: submarine exhalative-sedimentation (remold) type iron polymetallic ore in Heqia sea, marine sedimentary type of iron ore containing titanium in southern Atake river and stratum-controlled copper gold mine in northern Atake river. Seven metallogenic prediction regions were identified, including one class A, one class B, and five class C areas. The estimated resources were 15.656 9 million tons of iron ore, 0.397 3 million tons of manganese ore, 3.5 thousand tons of copper, 13.3 thousand tons of lead metal, 25.8 thousand tons of zinc and 0.147 6 million tons of titanium. Five prospecting target areas were further delineated, including two class A and three class B target areas. The authors also suggested that priority should be given to the prospecting work of Fe, Pb and Zn in the iron polymetallic mineralization belt of Heiqia in order to further expand the prospecting results. This marine sedimentary type iron ore containing titanium was first discovered in Early Carboniferous group, which is expected to achieve significant prospecting breakthrough.
