abstract
the kuh shah prospecting area is located in tertiary volcano-plutonic belt of the lut block. more than seventeen subvolcanic intermediate to acidic intrusive rocks, diorite to syenite in composition, were identified in the study area. the intrusions are related to hydrothermal alteration zones and contain argillic, propylitic, advanced argillic, silicified, quartz-sericite-pyrite, gossan and hydrothermal breccia which overprinted to each other and are accompanied by weathering which made it complicated to distinguish zoning. mineralization is observed as sulfide (pyrite and rare chalcopyrite), disseminated fe-oxides and quartz-fe-oxide stockwork veinlets. intrusive rocks are metaluminous, calc-alkaline with shoshonitic affinity with high values of magnetic susceptibility. the kuh shah intrusive rocks are classified as magnetite-series of oxidant i-type granitoids. based on zircon u–pb age dating, the age of these granitoid rocks is 39.7± 0.7 ma (middle eocene). the radioisotope data (initial 87sr/86sr and 143nd/144nd ratios as well as εnd) and geochemical data suggest that the kuh shah granitoid rocks formed from depleted mantle in a subduction-related magmatic arc setting. geochemical anomalies of elements such as cu, au, fe, pb, zn, as, sb, mo, bi, hg and also mn, ba, te and se, correlated with quartz-sericite-pyrite, gossan-stockwork-hydrothermal breccias, irregular silicified bodies and advanced argillic hydrothermal alteration zones. geophysical anomalies correlated with hydrothermal alteration and mineralization zones. the interpretation of the results represents complex patterns of sub-circular to ellipsoid shape with north-east to south-west direction. these evidences are similar to the other for known cu-au porphyry and au-epithermal systems in iran and worldwide.

Hyperspectral remote sensing records reflectance or emittance data in a large sum of contiguous and narrow spectral bands, and thus has many information in detecting and mapping the mineral zones. On the other hand, the geological and geophysical data gives us some other fruitful information about the physical characteristics of soil and minerals that have been recorded from the surface. ...
