Wajiertag negative magnetic anomaly is located in Xinjiang, 45 km from southeast Bachu Country. The anomaly was first found in 1950’s by China Aero Geophysical Survey and Remote Sensing Center for Land and Resources. According the result of magnetic survey, the anomaly is the responds of mafic and ultramafic complexes intrusive rocks and V-Ti-Fe deposit, magnetization of rock is more than 10000×10 A/m (Zhang et al., 1999). Later research shows that Wajiertag iron deposit was magmatic type deposit (Gao, 2007) with more than 100 million ton iron ore, and it is still exploring now. There are different in geophysical characteristics between Wajiertag iron deposit and other magmatic type deposit which were researched by some scholars (Tang, 2004; Xue et al., 2010; Fan et al., 2012). In this paper, we will discuss geophysical characteristics and prospecting criteria in Wajiertag iron deposit, in the hope of providing useful information for exploring the same type of iron deposit.
