Division and Introduction of West Kunlun Metallogenic Belt

With the increasing of works on basic geology and regional mineral evaluation, more and more information of geological background and mineralization in West Kunlun has been understand, and the conditions for the division of metallogenic belt in this studying area have been provided. In order to fully understand the metallogenic potential of West Kunlun and to prepare for mineral survey, a systematic study on the metallogenic belt is necessary.On the basis of previous study and according to the data of 1:2500000 regional geological survey, 1:2000000 stream sediment survey, 1:500000 aeromagnetic survey and regional research monograph, the West Kunlun has been divided into eight metallogenic belts, and each metallogenic belt has a certain relation with the tectonic belt, with special attribute of mineralization.
