The study of metallogenic geologic setting and prospecting potential evaluation in Southwestern Tianshan mountains

Southwestern Tianshan mountains is locaed between Tarim plate and Yili Yisaihe plate It underwent splittig and stylolitization of the southern ocean in Proterozoic era,early Paleozoic era and late Paleozoic era and frequent structure type transformation of palaeo continental edge and sedimentary basin Tectonic deformation is complex during collision period and after it Magmatism and metamorphism are violent And it is one of the most complex geological structure in Tianshan orogenic belt Mineral resource formed in long geological evolution period is rich in Southwestern Tianshan Especially, Southwestern Tianshan in central Asia has become a famous prospective area for its Au, Cu, Ag, Sn, Hg and nonmetallic ore deposit Based on syntheticly studying mineral resource in Tianshan district and correlation our country and neighbours, together with scientific dividing geotectonic units, the author evaluated mineral resource in Southern Tianshan, China
