development, and it is scarce mineral, but copper smelting mineral resources is from the copper deposit. The northwest region includes Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi and Ningxia and other 5 provinces, is rich in mineral resources, genetic type of copper deposits in the northwest of the mineral resources potential evaluation in northwest project group is studied based on. Chen Yuchuan (2010) divided China copper deposit according to the genesis of the deposit into 10 types: (volcano) sedimentary metamorphic type, magmatic type (ultrabasic copper nickel sulfide type), porphyry type, marine volcano rock type, Continental volcano rock type, skarn type, sandstone type, Continental marine sandstone type, magmatic hydrothermal type, weathering crust (narrow). Mineral resources potential evaluation of project proposals will be in magmatic hydrothermal type (narrow) is modified as the hydrothermal vein type and altered cataclastic rock. The northwest region lacks continental volcano rock type and weathering crust type copper deposit, other types of distribution.
