Akesayi iron deposit is a medium-sized iron deposits which was recently discovered and lied in Awulale ironcopper metallogenic belt, Xinjiang, China. Four largescale iron deposits in this belt, Chagangnuoer, Zhibo, Dunde and Beizhan (Fig.1), are characterized by development of skarnization alteration, and lack of clear spatial relationship with intrusive rocks . the orebody is controlled by the irregular fracture control, and the magnet mineralization is dominated,whose genesis are recognised as volcanoic-subvolcanic fluid metasomatism type or iron ore slurry type (Zhang et al.,2012;Duan et al.,2014;Jiang et al.,2014). Akesayi iron deposit is obviously different from other iron deposits in Awulale iron-copper metallogenic belt in the geological features, ZHENG Renqiao, DUAN Shigang, ZHANG Zuoheng, LUO Gang and JIANG Zongsheng, 2014.
