The Baoertu copper deposit is located in the Metamorphic rocks in the anticlines crest of Aimutaiwula, which located in the east part of the contact belt between South Tianshan and Middle Tianshan in the plate of Tarim, and on the south of the great faults of Wu'wamen-Bao'ertu. And the Baoertu copper deposit is one of the mainly metallogenetic areas, which are polymetallic metallogenic belts in South Tianshan-Haerke-Kumishenjin, including gold, copper, lead, zincum.This thesis analyzed the basic geological characteristics, petrology, mineral deposit geology, litho geochemistry, and deposit geochemistry of the copper deposit, acquired the following results:(1) According to the metamorphic grade and the metamorphic types of the rocks, suggesting that the mixed granite, granitic migmatite, plagioclase gneiss and hornblende gneiss of the first lithologic member(Mi) and the second lithologic member(Gn) in the first sub-formation of Aerbishimaibulake Formation in upper silurian-lower Devonian series belong to Xingxingxia group in proterozoic.(2) The outcrop of the rocks are mainly para-metamorphites, and the original rock is sedimentary rock and a small quantity of igneous rock. In the different diagram of tectonic environments, most of the samples fall into the part of the continental arc. It indicates that the tectonic environment of the metallogenetic area is the continental arc.(3) The rock and ore geochemistry of rare earth elements and trace elements indicates that the ore-forming material source of the Bao'ertu copper deposit may relate to the mixed granite.(4) Although the orebody scale is small (At present, it is discovered that there were six copper belts and thirty-one copper mineralized bodies), according to the analysis of metallogenic condition, regional metallogenic indication, regional tectonic setting, and the status in the reconnaissance, there are some prospecting potential for copper in this area.
