Abstract:To make new breakthrough in lead-zinc exploration in the Qiao'er Tianshan-Chalukou lead and zinc ore concentration area of the Western Kunlun Mountains, the authors arranged 1:50 000 survey project of geochemical exploration based on the results of 1:500 000 stream sediment survey, and picked out the integrated anomalies of HS-10 and HS-27 which are mainly composed of Pb according to the anomalies delineated in 1:50 000 geochemical exploration. Then, together with the geochemical characteristics of the landscape and the results of 1:10 000 soil survey as well as the analysis of the geochemical characteristics of the main ore-forming elements, the distribution positions of lead orebodies were estimated. At last, according to the exterior and deep engineering verification, the Tianshuihai lead-zinc deposit and the Tianzhushan lead-zinc deposit were found. The experience gained from prospecting work in Tianshuihai area indicates that the means put forward by the authors will effectively improve the prospecting rate and shorten the period of exploration by paying attention to picking out regional geochemical anomalies, focusing on abnormity-testing step by step, and selecting the most favorable ore-forming position for geological survey and engineering revealing.
