Bovaki and Aghbolagh tungsten (copper-tin-zinc) ore occurrences are located 12 and 14 km northwest of Azna respectively. The region is located in Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone of Iran, at the complex deformation sub-zone. There are alternative comsisty Upper Triassic carbonate, quartzite and meta-volcanic rocks (such as meta-tuff). In this area, tungsten-copper mineralization occurs as strati...

Eocene magmatism with intermediate-acid tuffs and volcanic rocks, the host to the Nodoushan deposit in Yazd province, intruded by Oligocene early diorite and later granite plutonic rocks. The former involved in iron skarn (containing epidote and euhedral grossularite) to the north and northern part of the deposit, the latter contributed to fault-controlled Zn-Pb deposit. The structural features...

The Hatamabad prospect area is located in northeast of Qaen, South Khorasan Province and in northeast of Lut block. The geology of area consists of volcanic rocks with basalt- andesite composition and sedimentary sequences (mudstone, limestone, and conglomerate) with Paleocene-Eocene age that monzodioritic dikes were intruded in them. Monzodioritic dikes have high-k calc-alkaline and metalumino...

Gazu copper deposit is located in the boundary of Tabas and Lut block, 65km southeast of Tabas and 15km southwest of Deyhouk. The dominant lithology in the area consists of Shotori dolomite and limestone and Shemshak shale and sandstone.  Intrusive rocks with intermediate composition are widespread and numerous in the area. They consist of diorite, monzonite, and quartz monzonite to granite. Mi...

In the Ardakan barite ore deposits, two groups of copper ore minerals have been identified in the barite veins. The hypogene ore minerals consist of chalcopyrite and chalcocite, which are associated with pyrite. The Supergene ore minerals are mainly composed of secondary Cu-sulfides (such as covellite, yarrowite and anilite), Cu-carbonates (malachite and azurite) and Cu-oxides (cuprite). Chalco...
