The Sachakou Pb-Zn polymetallic deposit is located in Hetian County, Xinjiang (geographical coordinates of E78° 57′54.30′ ′–78° 59′53.63′ ′ , N34° 39′27.50′ ′–34° 40′ 57.21′′). It belongs to the West Kunlun orogenic belt on the northwest edge of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and is connected to the Sanjiang orogenic belt to the south (Spurlin et al., 2005). In recent years, a series of Pb-Zn mineralized spots and deposits have been discovered in this area one after another, which is called the Huoshaoyun ore concentration area. Among them, the Sachakou Pb-Zn deposit has reserves up to140 Mt, which has reached a large scale. However, the study on the genesis of deposits in this area has only just begun. This work studied the genesis ofthis Pb-Zn deposit in order to provide new ideas for the genesis of regional deposits and regional prospecting.
