Tectonic setting, geological features and evaluation of ore-bearing property for magmatic Cu-Ni deposits in eastern Tianshan, NW-China

摘要

@@1 Tectonic setting of Permain magmatic Cu-Ni deposits in Eastern TianshanNorthern Xinjiang in northwestern China is located along the southern margin of the oroclinally folded Altaid or Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) (Yakubchuk et al., 2002; Xiao et al., 2003, 2004). The CAOB is a vast region of Phanerozoic juvenile crustal growth on the southern side of the Siberian craton. Terranes of the Altay, Junggar and Tianshan areas are a part of the CAOB, which represents one of the largest Phanerozoic orogens of the world.
