Hassan Abad Au-Sb prospect area is located in north of Khorasan Razavi Province about 45 km souht of Neyshabour. Volcanic rocks (rhyolite, rhyodacite, trachyandesite and andesitic-basalt) and sub-volcanic intrusive (Eocene-Oligocene) such as biotite diorite porphyry, biotite hornblende diorite porphyry, hornblende monzonite porphyry, biotite micogranite, micogranodiorite, and granodiorite were ...

Ghazan-Khanik complex is a small mafic-ultramafic intrusive body with Permian age at the extremity of NW of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, has intruded into the Precambrian metamorphic rocks. Field studies, geochemistry mineral compositions and assemblages of them demonstrate this complex has four lithological zones. The lower zone of non-layered gabbro is the fine-grain gabbronoritic component and ...

Erythrite (Co3 (AsO4)28H2O) is one of the rare arsenic minerals which belong to the vivianite group. A recent discovery in Tarikdarreh prospect area (northeastern Iran) found erythrite along with scorodite and hydroxides of iron have been recognized as a supergene alteration product of primary arsenic mineral in surface arsenopyrite ± pyrite mineralization veins zones. A specimen of erythrite h...

Cheshmeh Gaz (Nasim) copper deposit is located in northwest of Bardaskan, Khorasan Razavi province. Geology of the area is consist of andesite, basalt, nummulitic limestone, and marl with gypsum intercalations Eocene in age, Pliocene conglomerate, and Quaternary sediments. Mineralization has been formed in andesites and contact between andesitic units and limestone as stratabound with dissemina...

The mineralization index of Yeylaghe Gharachi, as part of Arasbaran metallogenic belt, is located about 25 km northwest of Ahar, East-Azarbaidjan Province, NW Iran. The host rocks of this index consist of composite intrusive rocks with lithologic compositions of granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite and diorite of Oligocene and Oligo-Miocene age. The alteration zones in this area are mainly p...

The Ma’danjoo prospect area is one of the eastern anomalies of Khaf’s Sangan iron mine in southeast of Mashhad. Geological units in the area include Jurassic sedimentary rocks, skarn, and Tertiary subvolcanic intrusion with monzonitic composition. Skarns have been seprated  in to 7 zones on the basis of abundance and type of the calc-silicate including: garnet, pyroxene-garnet, pyroxene, phlogo...

Gazu prospect area is located about 65Km southeast of Tabas in the southern part of Shotori range. Sub­­-volcanic intermediate intrusive rocks (Upper Cretaceous?), monzonitic to dioritic in composition, intruded into carbonate rocks of Shotori Formation (Triassic) which are the main source for copper mineralization in Gazu district. Alteration zones associated within the intrusive are: Quartz- ...

The study area is situated within the Lut Block 50 Km northeast of Ferdows. The oldest exposed rocks are Cretaceous limestone. Kerman conglomerate cover the limestone. Dacite-rhyodacite lava and pyroclastic rocks erupted over Kerman conglomerate.  Volcanic activities took place at different time in Tertiary. The composition ranges between trachyandesite, andesite, andesite-basalt and rhyolitic ...
