Abstract The authors found out the distribution regularity of elements in the upper reaches of the Yeerqiang River in West Kunlun Mountains through 1:500 000 regional geochemical exploration, delineated a series of geochemical anomalies, discovered seven metallogenic belts of copper, silver, gold, nickel, lead, zinc, mercury, lithium, tungsten and molybdenum, determined six mineralized belts of copper, silver, gold, lead, zinc on the basis of follow-up of the main anomalies, and carried out evaluation on the protential of mineral resources in West Kunlun region. Researches show that this region has rich mineral resources such as copper, nickel, gold, silver and molybdenum. Targets for further work is put forward, and plentiful geochemical data are provided for basic geological studies as well as mineral resource evaluation in West Kunlun region.
