Western Tianshan orogenic belt located in southwestern of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. During the Carboniferous-Permian period this area has Experienced a process from Subductioncollisional to extensional environment (Gao Jun, et al. 2009; Zhu Yongfeng, et al. 2006a; Long Lingli, et al. 2008). The Nixintage deposit belongs to the Awulale Metallogenic belt which is an important iron, copper, gold and polymetallic metallogenic belt discovered in recent years and lies in the northeastern margin of Yili plate ( Chen Yuchuan, et al. 2008; Li Wenyuan, et al. 2012; Zhang Zuoheng, et al. 2012). A series of large volcanic-type iron deposits found in this belt has made it a hot area of researching marine volcanic iron deposits.
