Biogeochemistry is a useful tool for assessing geochemical dispersion patterns. Sari Gunay epithermal gold deposit was selected in order to assess the application of biogeochemical exploration for gold in northwestern Iran. In this study, four sites were sampled in a profile perpendicular to mineralized vein with a control site two km far-off mineralized vein. A sample from each dominant plant ...

introduction pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral in low sulfidation ore deposits. experimental studies have shown that low-temperature ( 200°c) from hydrothermal or metamorphic fluids (butler and rickard, 2000). framboidal pyrite mostly occurs in sedimentary environments, though it could also form during metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration (scott et al., 2009). the pyrite formed te...

Gold mineralisation is the result of physico-chemical and thermal processes of the earth’s interior. We may view a geological process of gold mineralization as a stochastic process Z(x): xD, where D may be considered as a mineral deposit. In the case of gold mineralization, samples drawn at regular intervals may be considered as following a discrete stochastic process. The point of interest is...

kuh- e -zar gold deposit located 35 km west of torbat-e-heydaryeh, (khorassan e- razavi province), east of iran. this deposit is a specularite-rich iron oxide type (iocg). this mine is situated within khaf-bardascan volcanic plutonic belt. based on recent exploration along this belt, several iocg type system plus kuh-e-zar deposit are discovered. in the study area, several type of tuff and lava...

The Baghuo gold mine (Kuhzar) is located about 100 km S-SE of Damghan. The area is part of Torud- Chahshirin volcano- plutonic belt. The hosts of quartz – tourmaline veins are mainly granite, granodiorite and volcanic rocks such as andesite and dacite.  Mineralization occurs as a copper- gold bearing silica vein. Quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite, gold, hematite, malachite, azurite, covellite and Fe...

isotopic and microthermometry results from sheikh-darabad cu-au indices in mianeh region, east-azarbaijan province, indicate cenozoic post-magmatic activities with developed adularia facies through an extended and neogene related alteration that is given rise to occurring silica vein systems as the main hosting locations for epithermal mineralization. the research evidence also has been coincid...

The ore mineralogy of a new promising target the Aldan–Stanovoy gold province—the Spokoininsky cluster—is considered. Gold mineralization is represented by volumetric, nonlinear type, unconventional for region; it related to elements fold structures and reverse fault in enclosing metamorphic basement rocks. Vein-disseminated sulfide–(pyrite)–quartz ores build up deposit-like bodies beresites fr...
