The Geological Composition and Metallogenetic Prospect in the Qimantage Prospective Region,East Kunlun

In the Qimantage region,located in the eastern end of East Kunlun,there is a marked achievement on mineral resources research in recent years,including the finds of Baiganhu large tungstent in deposit,Kaerquka copper multimetallic deposit,Weibao lead-zinc deposit and Changqin iron deposit in succession all with large perspective on a scale.In addition,formerly Dimunalike iron deposit has been become a large sedimento-metam orphic magnetite deposit due to newly added resource volume.These newly-found mineral deposits display a huge potential of the Qimantage region in prospect,and the region has been become a most important replaceable basement of prospecting and exploitation formetal mineral resources in China.Geologically,the Qimantage region is in a structural knot among several tectonic units i.e.East Kunlun,Altun zones and Qaidam massif,and it underwent a complicated process in tectonic evolution.To understanding of structural evolution in the Qimantage region is actually to recognize the relationship of tectonic evolution among East and West Kunlun and Altun zones,and then,certainly including relationship of tectonic evolution between Qaidam massif and Tarim landmass.
