The Tertiary volcanic rocks in the north and west of Birjand are dacite; andesite, basaltic andesite, trachyandesite and rhyolite.They belong to calc- alkaline from magmatic series. Mineralogcal, petrographcal and geochemical evidence show that they have formed in active continental margins. Most andesites and dacites are appeared as volcanic domes or subvolcanic dykes that injected older units...

The Beshgaz manganese-bearing veins are located in ~45 km northeast of Birdjand, South-Khorasan, and east of Iran. These veins with 0.1-1.5 m thickness and 4-7 m length are engulfed discordantly within Paleocene (Eocene-Oligocene) volcanic-pyroclastic rocks.  The host of Mn-bearing veins are dacite to rhyo-dacite tuff, lapilli tuff with andesitic and andsi-basaltic fragments in shear zones. The...

Nodoushan clay deposit is located about 130km southwest of Yazd city in the Uromieh-Dokhtar volcano-plutonic belt. Based on the field, mineralogical and geochemical studies, the rocks of Nodoushan area are of volcanic type and are composed of dacite, andesite and olivine-basalt, the pyroclastic type (crystalline tuff), and the microgranodioritic intrusive rocks. According to Zr/TiO2 versus SiO2...

Gazestan deposit is located about 185 km of Yazd, in the Bafgh – Posht e Badam Metallogenic belt, consists of Infracambrian carbonate, shale, tuff, sandstone and volcanic rocks. Acid to basic green rocks (rhyolite, dacite and basalt) are host for iron and phosphate mineralization. The alteration process is more intence in the volcanic rocks including, actinolite, chloritization, silicification ...
