ABSTRACT
The West Qinling Orogenic Belt is situated at a transition where the major continental tectonic massifs of China meet the orogenic belts. Contained by the Paleoasian Ocean, the Tethys, and the circum-Pacific tectonodynamic systems on three sides (Zhang et al., 2004), this region features a complex geological setting, developed magmatism, superior metallogenic geology, and diverse and densely distributed minerals. (Mao et al., 2008; Chen YJ, 2010).
