This article is aiming at the Wudaqi copper-nickel ore reconnaissance area in Qiemo County, Xinjiang Province. We believe this ore deposit distribution is controlled by many factors. The rock bodies and fractures are the major factors that control the development of copper-nickel mineralization. When these various factors combined in a best way, the metallogenic probability of this ore deposit may increase greatly. Due to the fact that located and predicted the concealed ore body is developing towards multi-information integrated location predict, a growing use of GIS may lead to the prediction developed forward to the direction of multi-information, quantification and automation (Peng, 2001; Boyle, 1981; Mandelbrot, 1982). Combined with the Mineral Resources Assessment System, we are successful in delineating potential areas of mineralization and as evidenced by recent drilling data. The exploration area is located in the Qimantag Early Paleozoic arc-ditch system of the active belt in southern margin of the Tarim plate. It lies north of the Karamiran Late Paleozoic arc-ditch system and south of the Arkin fault adjacent to Arkin continental margin basin of Tarim plate. The main exposed strata are Changchengian(Ch), Jixianian(Jx) and Devonian to Quaternary. The previous mineral-geological research in the surveyed area is low. The discovered mineral resources are mainly ore occurrences, mineralized points, metal minerals such as iron, copper and gold, non-metallic minerals such as pyrite, asbestos and halite.
