GIS is considered an important technique as well as a prerequisite for cost effective mineral exploration and determination of high potential areas. The purpose of this research is to determine high potential iron zones for detailed exploration using index overlay GIS method. Index Overlay was used to combine the geology, topography (scale: 1:1,000), lineaments, remote sensing (ASTER and ETM+) ...

introduction tekieh lead-zinc ore deposit that is located in the sanandaj-sirjan structural zone has been recognized as one of the most important mineralized regions in malayer-isfahan metallogenic sub-state, south east of arak (momenzadeh and ziseman, 1981). carbonate host units have been developed along (or across) the vishan-tekieh anticline as the main structure extended in nw-se trends (an...

Combined geostatistical and multifractal power-spectrum modelling of geochemical distributions can provide suitable indicators of metal dispersion, and is capable of analysing complex problems for targeting potential areas for mineral exploration. A case study analysing lake sediment geochemical data for the Gowganda area is presented and development of the methodology for spatial analysis of t...

mafic and ultramafic plutonic igneous bodies, with small and big outcrops, between shemshak rock units (jurassic) are observed in east of imam zadeh hashem, in southern guilan province. ultramafic cumulates consist of clinopyroxenite, and plagiofer clinopyroxenite, olivine clinopyroxenite, and mafic rocks, based on mineralogy consist of gabbros, olivine gabbros, biotite gabbros and amphibole ga...

the lalezar granitoids crop out within volcanic successions of the urumieh-dokhtar magmatic assemblage (udma). these granitoids have a range from gabbro-diorites to granites in composition. the mineral compositions of the most felsic rocks are characterized by the abundances of na-plagioclase, quartz, alkali feldspar, biotite and hornblende. in the gabbro-diorite rocks, plagioclase (ca-rich), h...

Together with generalized self-similarity and the fractal spectrum, local singularity analysis has been introduced as one part of the new 3S principle and technique for mineral resource assessment based on multifractal modeling, which has been demonstrated to be useful for anomaly delineation. Local singularity is used in this paper to characterize the property of multifractal distribution patt...

For a better understanding of the previously observed increased natural radioactivity at confluence Varzob and Sioma rivers, Central Tajikistan, activity concentration radioactive 40K, Th U daughters as well anthropogenic 137Cs were determined in nine locations covering entire River. The radiometric determinations evidenced, addition to concentrations daughter radionuclides, an anomalous accumu...

singularity based on fractal and multifractal is a technique for detection of depletion and enrichment for geochemical exploration, while the index of vertical geochemical zonality (vz) of pb.zn/cu.ag is a practical method for exploration of blind porphyry copper mineralization. in this study, these methods are combined for recognition, delineation, and enrichment of vz in jebal- barez in the s...
