The Cheshmeh Zagh area is located on Khorasan Razavi Province, the southern parts of the Sabzevar zone, which is one of the most important metallogeny zones of Iran. Lithologically, the area includes a variety of Late Cretaceous volcanic rocks (dacite to basalt), intrusions (gabbro to synogranite), Oligo-Miocene sedimentary rocks, and Quaternary sediments. Alteration zones of propylitic, chlori...

The Alvand complex (Hamedan province) comprises several bodies ranging from acidic to intermediate and basic compositions intruded in the regional metamorphic sequence of the area (the Hamedan phyllites) during various magmatic episodes in Jurassic. In northern part of the complex (the Cheshmeh-ghasaban area) there are some outcrops of hornblende gabbro and olivine gabbronorite. The olivine-gab...

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...

Uranium becomes soluble and mobile under oxidizing conditions in aqueous environment, and presence of complexing agents with uranium increase this mobility. Existence of such conditions in groundwaters of Ayrakan and Cheshmeh Shotori areas has led to oxidation, solubility and mobility of uranium minerals. Hydrogeochemical study of uranium in the study areas reveals the presence of bicarbonate i...
