Prospecting Progress and Metallogenic Prospect Analysis of Lithium and Beryllium Rare Metals in Altun Area
Lithium and beryllium rare metal is an important material basis to promote the modern industrial revolution and the development of high and new technology,and its safe supply is related to the development and growth of China's strategic emerging industries.Since the first discovery of Tugman beryllium in Altun region in 2014,the Third Geologi-cal Brigade of Xinjiang Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has successively discovered and evaluated four large and ultra-large lithium and beryllium rare metal ore fields,such as Waishixia South,Ayak,Kumusayi and Tashdaban,re-alizing a major breakthrough in the exploration of lithium resources in new areas in China.A 300 km long and 10～35 km wide lithium beryllium rare metal metallogenic belt of Altun has been determined,and the potential lithium oxide re-sources are estimated to be 3 million tons,which is expected to become a large-scale national lithium beryllium resource base.On the basis of previous exploration and research of lithium beryllium rare metal deposits,this paper reveals the metallogenic prospect of pegmatitic lithium beryllium rare metal in this area,which provides strong support for further prospecting and exploration deployment.
