Abstract The gold-copper deposit on the periphery of Sarsuk area in Xinjiang is located in the west of the Ashele large-size copper deposit and lies between the Duolanasayi arc-trench interstitial structural belt and the Ashele island arc structural belt which are separated by F6-1 Maerkakuli deep fault. According to the ore-forming regularity and stratigraphic characteristics, the author carried out combinational exploration by using ground high-precision magnetic measurement, IP mid-gradient, IP sounding, CSAMT and TEM and, on the basis of drill hole locating, utilized IP sounding to delineate mineralized bodies at intermediate or shallow depth. Based on studying the corresponding relationship between CSAMT results and IP sounding results at the shallow depth, the author further studied the reflection regularity of CSAMT results for deep mineralized bodies. According to the results of CSAMT method, the sizes and attitude variations of the possibly existent concealed rock bodies, ore-controlling structures and silicification zones can be basically detected so as to provide deep ore-prospecting information. Two drill holes deployed along No. II mineralization-alteration zone on the periphery of Sarsuk area both intersected ore bodies, suggesting that great ore-prospecting potential might exist on the periphery and in the depth of Sarsuk area.
