Abstract
AbstractThe Junggar orogen, Xinjiang, China, is an important part of the Ural–Mongolian orogen. The collisional orogenesis in this region occurred primarily in the Carboniferous and Permian with an evolutional process of early compression and late extension. Mineralization of gold and other metals in the Junggar orogen occurred mainly in the Permian and in a few cases in the Late Carboniferous. The deposits are largely distributed in areas where collisional orogenesis was intensive and formed in a transitional stage from compression to extension. Therefore, gold mineralization in the Junggar orogen is fully consistent with the collisional orogenesis in time, space and geodynamic setting. This indicates that the mineral deposit model of collisional orogenesis is applicable to prospecting and study of ore deposits in the Junggar orogen. Furthermore, the factual distribution of gold and other deposits in this region is just the same as the collisional orogenic model presents.
