Gas samples whose R values （R=³He/⁴He） are higher than R values of the air were collected from underground brine in the Lop Nur within eastern Tarim Basin of Xinjiang. This shows the contribution of a fluid source with higher R values. It is also revealed that there exists the interaction between the crust fluid and the mantle fluid in the depth of the Lop Nut. The mande fluid may ascend through active fault belts （for example, the giant Altun fault belt）. It further demonstrates that the mantle source fluid plays a great role in the formation and evolution of underground brine in the Lop Nur.  However, the mantle source fluid can carry material and heat through fault belts, thus affecting the characteristics of the fluid in the crust.
