Sareke glutenite-type copper deposit is the large size copper deposit discovered in recent years, and it is located Sarekebayi intracontinental pull-apart basin in the western margin of the Tarim basin. Conglomerate of alluvial fan facies in the upper Jurassic Kuzigongsu group is ore-hosted bed for this copper deposit (Fang et al., 2015, 2016; Liu et al., 2014). On the basis of the study of the measured structural lithology section, the studied area of the Sareke copper mine was investigated by anatomical study of tectonic petrographic facies covering drilling holes and tunnels at the scale of 1:1000 to 1:200. Features of sedimentary facies for ore-hosted strata of the Kuzigongsu group, types of structure lithology, types of sedimentary microfacies in the upper member of the Kuzigongsu group, and copper mineralization in the Sareke copper deposit had been discussed.
