Abstract: Abstract：The West Kunlun area is geographically located at the junction between the northwestern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the southwestern margin of the Tarim basin and tectonically at the junction between the Paleo-Asiatic tectonic domain and the Tethys-Himalaya tectonic domain. It is an important component of the gigantic latitudinal tectonic belt (Kunlun-Qilian-Qinling tectonic belt) across central China. This area has excellent metallogenic conditions in terms of stratigraphy, structure, magmatism etc. The kinds and types of mineral deposit found in the area are highly varied and there is a full range of minerals. In space the minerals show distinct zoning and mineralizations are relatively concentrated. Many kinds of information regarding mineralization indicate that the study area is one of the favorable ore prospect areas for looking for large and superlarge mineral deposits.
