Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...

gomish-tappeh zn-pb-cu (ag) deposit is located 90 km southwest of zanjan, in northwestern part of urumieh-dokhtar volcano-plutonic zone. exposed rocks at the area include oligo-miocene volcano-sedimentary and sedimentary sequences as well as pliocene volcano-plutonic sequence (andesite porphyry dykes, dacitic subvolcanic dome and rhyodacitic volcanics). alteration in the deposit developed as si...

introduction volcanic rocks with a porphyritic texture have experienced two crystallization stages. the first is slow, resulting in phenocrysts, and the second, which took place at, or near the surface, or during intrusion into a cooler body of rock, result in a groundmass of glass, or fine crystals. the pressure and temperature history of a magma during crystallization is recorded in the chemi...

introduction a wide variety of world-class porphyry cu deposits occur in the urumieh-dohktar magmatic arc (udma) of iran.the arc is composed of calc-alkaline granitoid rocks, and the ore-hosting porphyry intrusions are dominantly granodiorite to quartz-monzonite (zarasvandi et al., 2015). it is believed that faults played an important role in the emplacement of intrusions and subsequentporphyry...

the subduction of the northern part of the tethys is documented by arc magmatism from upper triassic to lower eocene crosscutting the sanandaj-sirjan zone and from upper eocene to plio-quaternary in the urumieh-dokhtar magmatic zone, situated north of the ssz. neyriz ophiolite is part of middle eatern neo-tethyan ocean of mesozoic that geographically is related to ophiolites of nw-se iran, alon...

summarythe explanation of the elastic, or velocity structure of the earth has long been a goal of the world’s seismologists. for the first few decades of seismological research, the investigation on velocity structure was restricted to the determination of one-dimensional models of the solid earth and of various regions within it. seismologists are currently obtaining three dimensional velocity...

introduction two main principal aspects for the genesis of porphyry copper deposits have been determined. the first genetic model concerns the petrologic and geochemical processes and the other relates the genesis to crustal deformation and geodynamic conditions (kesler, 1997). recent studies (e.g., padilla garza et al., 2001) show that the generation and emplacement of porphyry copper deposits...
