Epithermal gold deposits are commonly found around the circum-Pacific margin, mostly in Mesozoic and Cenozoic volcanic fields (Hedenquist 1987; Corbett G., 2002). However, epithermal gold deposits within the northern Xinjiang mainly occur in the Carboniferous volcanic fields (Yang et al., 2009), such as Axi, Mazhuangshan and Shuangfengshan gold deposits. The metallogenic age of these deposits may be closely associated with the geodynamic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (Chen et al., 2012). But epithermal gold deposits in the East Tianshan Mountains like Suoerbasitao are relatively lack of researches on oreforming fluid characteristics and mineralization. The Suoerbasitao gold deposit is considered as epithermal gold deposit based on its geological characteristics, fluid inclusions and stable isotope geochemistry. Through the study of Suoerbasitao deposit, we are trying to provide evidence for metallogeny of epithermal gold deposits in the northern Xinjiang region of Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB).
