Abstract：Many marine volcanic type iron oxide ore deposits are exposed along the Awulale Iron Metallogenic Belt in the eastern part of the Yili block, which is an elongated wedge-shape tract tapering to a point. Recently, numerous large-scale high-grad iron ore deposits have been found consecutively in the Western Tianshan Orogen with the new round of ore prospecting exploration and evaluation in Xinjiang province, especially in the Awulale Iron Metallogenic Belt. Therefore, this metallogenic belt has become a significant high-grade iron metallogenic belt in Xinjiang province and even in China. However, these iron ore deposits have so far insufficient studies on metallogenesis. Additionally, the metallogenic tectonic setting is still a subject of the intense discussion. Furthermore, the enrichment mechanism of Fe element and the indicator for further prospecting should be summarized urgently. Based on the research progress of iron ore deposits in the world, in this contribution we summarize the geological characteristics and present the research situation of the significant iron ore deposits in the Western Tianshan Mountains Metallogenic Belt. We also discuss the existing problems in the research and propose some research prospects in order to promote the study on the metallogenesis of these ore deposits and further ore prospecting exploration in the Western Tianshan Mountains.
