Khanlogh magnetite-apatite deposit is located in northwest of Neyshabour. This area is situated in Binaloud structural zone and east of Tertiary Quchan-Sabzevar magmatic arc. Geology of the area is dacitic volcanic rock intruded by Oligocene subvolcanic rocks with composition of quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite. Miocene sedimentary rocks trusted on them. The magmatism in the area shows char...

Two types of tungsten mineralization have been recognized in southwest of Astaneh: 1. Stratabound type at Bamsar with calcareous schists and siliceous tuffs as host rocks, 2. Quartz-tourmaline vein type at Nezamabad, Revesht and Fizaneh hosted in quartzdiorite-granodiorite intrusions. Scheelite is the main tungsten ore mineral in both types. Generally, two distinct REEN patterns are observed in...

The study area is located about 30km northwest of Kashmar, southwest of Keriz village and east of Siah Kuh mine. Based on field and mineralogical studies, the rocks are mainly polutonic, sub-volcanic and volcanic, aged Eocene. The carbonate unit, with Permian age, is exposed extensivelly in the area. The mineralization in the area appears as veins, lenses, massive and dissiminated forms. Vein a...

Dehzaman iron deposit is located southwest of Bardaskan, Khorasan Razavi province, and northeast of Kashmar-Kerman Tectonic Zone. Geology of the study area consists of late-Neoprotrozoic-lower Cambrian metamorphsed volcano-sedimentary units, including slate- phyllite, sericite schist, recrystallized carbonate rocks, metarhyolite-metarhyodacite and granitic intrusions. Mineralization is hosted b...

Shekaste Sabz area is located in eastern Iran, about 96 km north west of Birjand. Preliminary prospecting in the area using ASTER mineral mapping (SAM) detected propylitic, argillic and sericitic alteration which was confirmed by field observation. The area comprises outcrops of Paleocene to Eocene volcanics, which was intruded by intermediate subvolcanic bodies. The main alterations zones are ...

Sorkheh Dizaj apatite - iron oxide deposit is located in southeast of Zanjan, within the Tarom subzone of Western Alborz - Azarbaijan structural zone. The oldest units in the area are Eocene trachyte, trachyandesite, olivine basalt and volcanoclastic brecciated tuff and lapilli tuff intruded by a quartz-monzonite, monzonite and granite subvolcanic pluton of Late Eocene - Early Oligocene age. Th...

The Balazard prospecting area is located about 120 km southwest of Nehbandan city, Khorasan Jonoobi Province, in the central parts of Lut block volcano-plutonic belt.  The intrusion of a granitoid pluton into rhyolitic and andesitic rocks has led to alteration and mineralization. Hydrothermal alteration zones consist of argillic, sericite-argillic, silicic-argillic, propylitic, and advanced arg...
