Title: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TECTONICS AND MINERALIZATION IN THE NORTH OF WESTERN TIANSHAN AND ITS APPLICATION IN EXPLORATION FOR MINERAL DEPOSITS
Abstract: Western Tianshan, which is very rich in mineral deposits, is one of the most important metallogenic belts of Cu, Au and other ore deoposits in China The formation and characteristics of mineral deposits are intimately associated with the tectonic settings Under extensional tectonic background, the major ore deposits formed are Cu, Fe, Au and other deposits in intermediate basic and intermediate acid volcanic rorks with minor Cu, Mo, W, Pb Zn deposits related to intermediate acid intrusives and Cu Ni deposits associated with basic and ultrabasic intrusives And in expressive tectonic environment, the predominant ore deposits are porphyry, skarn and hydrothermal Cu and Au deposits associated with remelted granites, and small amount of reformed sedimentary Pb Zn and Cu deposits Further more, the principal characteristics of ore deposits formed in different epoches of the tectonic evolution are discussed And based on such features as tectonic settings, the target for mineral exploration is put forward in the north of the western Tianshan [
