The West Junggar region has three metallogenic belts distributed systematically from north to south: (1) late Paleozoic Saur Au-Cu belt; (2) early Paleozoic Xiemisitai- Sharburt Be-U-Cu-Zn belt; (3) late Paleozoic Barluk-Kelamay Au-Cu-Mo-Cr belt. These belts host a number of deposits belonging to at least eight economically important styles, including epithermal Au, granite-related Be-U, volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) Cu-Zn, podiform chromite, porphyry Cu, hydrothermal quartz vein Au, porphyry-greisen Mo(-W), and orogenic Au. These deposit styles are associated with the tectonics prevalent during their formation. Five tectonic-mineralized epochs can be recognized: (1) Ordovician subduction-related VMS Cu-Zn deposit; (2) Devonian ophiolite-related podiform chromite deposit; (3) early Carboniferous subductionrelated epithermal Au and porphyry Cu deposits; (4) late Carboniferous subduction-related granite-related Be-U, porphyry Cu, and hydrothermal quartz vein Au deposits; and (5) late Carboniferous to early Permian subduction-related por- phyry-greisen Mo(-W) and orogenic Au deposits.展开更多

The ore-controlling faults in the Jiudian gold field could be classified into three types: fluid transporting; fluid dispatching and fluid precipitating. The fluid precipitating faults are usually small and low-order ones, and could be fatherly classified into three types based on their orientation: NE-, NNE-and NW oriented, and they are of quite different features. The Jiudian gold field can be divided into three sectors based on the distance from the major fault zone-The Zhaoping fault zone. The present paper mainly deals with the features of these differently oriented ore-controlling faults and of sectors and presents a tentative structural model for them.展开更多
