Important clues have been found for potassium prospecting in the Huangjinkou anticline of the northeast Sichuan Basin in the 1970s (Zheng et al., 2015; Lin et al., 2004). In 2008, China Geological Survey launched a prospective investigation of potash resources in the western region of China, and the local governments and private-owned enterprises also responded positively. Then, during 2015−2016, the Land and Resources Department of Sichuan Province deployed potash prospecting drilling (borehole ZK601) in the Huangjinkou anticline, and obtained deep potassium and lithium resources. These results may give a direction of marine potash prospecting in the Sichuan Basin.
