neyshabour turquoise mine: the first iron oxide cu-au-u-lree (iocg) mineralized system in iran

چکیده
neyshabour turquoise mine is located in northwest of neyshabour, southern quchan volcanic belt. eocene andesite and dacite forming as lava and pyroclastic rocks cover most of the area. subvolcanic diorite to syenite porphyry (granitoids of magnetite series) intruded the volcanic rocks. both volcanic and subvolcanic rocks are highly altered. four types of alteration are recognized including: silicification, argillic, calcification and propylitic. silicification is dominant followed by argillic alteration. mineralization is present as stockwork, disseminated and hydrothermal breccia. hypogene minerals are pyrite, magnetite, specularite, chalcopyrite, and bornite. secondary minerals are turquoise, chalcocite, covellite, and iron oxides. a broad zone of gossan has developed in the area. oxidized zone has a thickness of about 80 m. mineralized samples show high anomalies of cu, au, zn, as, mo, co, u, lree, nb, and th. both aeromagnetic and radiometric (u and th) maps show very strong anomalies (10 × 5km) within the mineralized area. based on geology, alteration, mineralization, geochemistry, and geophysics, neyshabour turquoise mine is a large iron oxide cu-au-u-lree (iocg) mineralized system. in comparison with other iocg deposits, it has some similarities with olympic dam (australia) and candelaria (chile). in comparison with qaleh zari and kuh zar mines, neyshabour turquoise mine is the first iron oxide cu-au-u-lree (iocg) mineralized system discovered in iran.

The Qaleh-Zari specularite- rich Cu-Au-Ag deposit is located 180 Km south of Birjand. Host rocks are mainly Tertiary andesites and andesitic basalts and some Jurassic shales and sandstones. Andesitic rocks from the western region of Qaleh-Zari were dated to 40.5±2 Ma. Four trends of faults and joints are identified in the mine area. The oldest is mineralized. Three major sub-parallel quartz ve...

Fyrouzeh mine is located about 55 km northwest of Nyshabour in the Provice of Khorasan Razavi. The exposed rocks are mainly volcanic and intrusive with intermediate composition and all of them are altered. This mine is the first type of IOCG reconized in Iran with Cu-Au-LREE-U. Besides Cu-Au-U, this area shows As, Mo, Zn and Th anomalies. Geochemical evaluation of stream sediment with regard to...
متن کاملFootprints of Fe-oxide(-Cu-Au) systems
Recognizing footprints of Fe-oxide(-Cu-Au) ("IOCG") mineralization depends on the perspective that the beholder has on the nature and origin of these deposits. This follows from the fact that no simple descriptive model can adequately capture the diversity of the systems that are included in this family (any more than for epithermal deposits or similar broad classes). Nor, is there any semblanc...

Qaleh-Zari is a Fe-oxide Cu-Ag-Au vein type deposit located 180 km south of Birjand, in eastern Iran. Host rocks are mainly Tertiary calc-alkaline to K-rich calc-alkaline with transition to shoshonitic andesite and andesitic basalts, but in the central part shale and sandstone of Jurassic age. Andesitic rocks from the western region of Qaleh-Zari were dated to 40.5 ± 2 Ma. Four trends of faults...

Detailed studies are done in order to investigate the ore body in Sangan mine. Analyses results showed very low amount of gold in mineralized zone, (max 32 ppb). It is indicated that there is a positive relation between Au, S and As whereas there was no special relation between Au and Cu. Therefore Au can not be found along with Cu sulfides such as chalcopyrite. The LREE elements are higher tha...
