Band-e-Ziarat ophiolitic complex is located approximately about 45 Km south of Kahnuj, Kerman Province. The complex is a horst structure at the western boundary of the Jaz Murian depression, southern Lut block and southeastern Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. It bounded to the east and to the west by two major north-south trending fault zones of Jiroft and Sabzevaran. The complex is mainly composed of low...

The Azad pumped storage power plant including the pumping and transformer cavern and surge tanks has been located in the Sanandaj-Sirjan formation with the alternation of slate and phyllite and meta sandstone.Due to the sensitivity and special use of these spaces, stability analysis and ensuring the safety of carven is very important.Nowadays, using the surface storage tanks is very costly; The...

The Golgohar iron mine is located about 55 km southwest of Sirjan in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. We distinguished five mineralization zones, on the bases of mineral assemblage with magnetite. The gangue minerals are pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, siderite, apatite, serpentine, talc, chlorite, amphibole, calcite, dolomite and quartz. All chlorites are tri-octahedral in nature. The ch...

Geologically, Shahr-e-Babak playa is located in the southeast of Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. Based on mineralogical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies, in the studied playa major mineralogical phases include hallosit, kaolinite, illite, quartz, calcite and gypsum. Based on geochemical data, the average aluminum oxide values is 13/93% , silicon oxide is 39/53% and the average of volatiles ...

Surian volcano–sedimentary complex located on the eastern edge of the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone, southwest Iran. Graphite schist is the most abundant lithological facies in this area. Due to the high grade of the graphite ore (up to 50%), the exploitation of the ore is economically valuable. Gangue minerals include quartz, muscovite, plagioclase, clinochlore, zircon and ilmenite. The occ...

The study area is a part of Sanandaj- Sirjan Zone that is located in the northeastern of the dimension stone of Jan mine in north of Doroud city on Lorestan Province. It is mainly composed of deformed metamorphic rocks including deformed marbles associated with mylonitic gneiss- granite and amphibolite. The main texture of the marbles is lepidogranoblastic and their mineralogical composition ar...

Broujerd granitoid complex is one of the large intrusive complexes in structural zone of Sanandaj-Sirjan and petrologicaly they are composed of granodiorite and quartzdiorite and which are accompanied by monzogranite stocks. Study of Broujerd granitoid complex replacement mechanism (west of Iran) has been done with the use of anisotropic magnetic susceptibility technique (AMS) on the basis of r...

Galali orebody is located in Sanandaj-Sirjan zone in west of Iran in the Karamkhani slops in Almogholagh mountains. The main ore is magnetite association with hematite, goethite, secondary limonite, malachite and pyrite. This orebody is located on north Galali fault; mineralization is made by fault movements in this orebody. Three types of ores have been seen in the Galali orebody as below: Typ...
