The study area is located in Central Iranian volcano-plutonic copper belt (Dehaj-Sarduiyeh belt) about 42 Km northeast of Shahrbabak in Kerman Province. Based on petrographic studies, extrusive rocks have the composition from trachyandesite, andesite basaltic and andesite to dacite with Eocene age. Mineralogically, the rocks contain plagioclase, amphibole, biotite and quartz. Chlorite, calcite,...

The Zonuz irregular lens shaped kaolin deposit located in Marand, Azarbaygan, is exploited as an openpit. Andesite, Trachyandesite and dacite igneous rocks are located in south, west and east parts of the deposit, respectively. The Ore was analysed by XRD, SEM and NAA. Assemblage of major minerals including Quartz, Kaolinite, Illite and Calcite, and minor minerals of Dolomite, Montmorillo...

Eocene- Oligocene volcanic and subvolcanic bodies of Masjed-Daghi Located in 35 km East of Jolfa close of Aras River. On the base of structural geology the study area is a part of the West Alborz-Azarbayejan zone. Volcanic rocks are rhyolite, dacite to trachyandesite and subvolcanic rocks are porphyritic monzonite to diorite. The Formation of these rocks related to  subduction zone in an active...

The tectonic settings for the Urumieh-Dokhtar volcanic-plutonic belt provided by different reaserchers including active continental margin rift and post collisional settings. Geochemical and tectonic studies indicate that this belt belongs to the active continental margin. Basaltic andesite, andesite, trachy andesite, trachy dacite and dacitic rocks in NE Naragh, of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic...

the neogene intrusion masses in the noudeh-enghelab area located to the north of sabzevar ophiolite have cut the late cretaceous ophiolitic rocks, sedimentary- volcanic and eocene volcanic rocks and have been covered by pliocene and quaternary deposits. the margin is of lava with basalt, phyric andesite-basalt and andesite and the central parts (dome shaped) composed of phyric andesite-trachyan...

Arazgoni Kaolin deposit is located in East Azarbaijan Province, about 18 km south of Qara Aghaj, the center of Charoymaq city. The area under investigation, in the geological zoning of Iran, is a part of the Urmia-Dokhtar volcanic-plutonic belt. Most of the study area is composed of volcanic rocks with Oligo-Miocene dacite-andesitic composition which have been strongly altered by hydrothermal a...
