This paper presents new tectonic model for the Late Palaeozoic evolution of the Jungar-Altai–Sayan Fold Belt in the context of large-amplitude (hundreds to several thousands of kilometres) strike-slip movement along regional NW-trending fault zones. These include the following regional fault zones: Chara, Irtysh, Northeast, Charysh–Terekta and Kurai-Teletsk, as well as the thrusts associated with them kinematically:Tangbale-Kolameili,Mayile, Barleik–Hongguleleng, Kaim, North Sayan thrust fault and Kurtushuba.
