Abstract

The Kuigan-Maibulak copper ore region on south bank of the Balkhash Lake is geologically located at the northwestern part of to the Chuyili-North Tianshan metallogenic sub-province, which is belonging to the circum-Balkhash-Junggar metallogenic province of the Balkhash metallogenic belt. It is composed of a series of small or medium porphyry copper deposits. This paper gives a brief introduction of geological features, wall-rock alterations, mineralizations, and mineral assemblages of the ore region and the main characteristics of the deposits, including Kaskirmis, Vostok Ⅱ and Ⅲ porphyry and vein-type copper deposits, and the Vostok Ⅰ Mo-chalcopyrite deposit, the evaluation of the reserves, the development and prospects of the deposits. According to the granodiorite porphyry magmatism and Cu-Au-Mo mineralization series of the Kuigan-Maibulak copper ore region, it is suggested that the Kuigan-Maibulak copper ore region and the North Balkhash copper deposit belt (with super-large Kounrad and Aktogai porphyry copper deposits and so on) on south and north banks of the Balkhash Lake have similar geological characteristics for porphyry copper deposit. The Kuigan-Maibulak copper ore region is considered to be an ore-forming and prospective zone for super-large porphyry copper deposits.
