Onzon-Kanbani area is a western flank of Mogok Metamorphic Belt where gold mineralization is hosted as auriferous quartz-vein with epithermal low-sulphidation characters. Mineralization is closely associated with NE-SW trending fracture or shear zone probably related to the dextral movement of the Sagaing Fault system. Mineralization related hydrothermal alteration is developed as narrow zones ...

sorkheh-dizaj apatite-iron oxide deposit is located 32 km southeast of zanjan. the area is situated within the tarom subzone of western alborz-azarbaijan structural zone. the oldest units at the sorkheh-dizaj area are eocene trachyte, trachyandesite, olivine basalt and volcanoclastic brecciate tuff and lapilli tuff which intruded by a quartz-monzonite, monzonite and granite subvolcanic pluton o...

introduction a wide variety of world-class porphyry cu deposits occur in the urumieh-dohktar magmatic arc (udma) of iran.the arc is composed of calc-alkaline granitoid rocks, and the ore-hosting porphyry intrusions are dominantly granodiorite to quartz-monzonite (zarasvandi et al., 2015). it is believed that faults played an important role in the emplacement of intrusions and subsequentporphyry...

introduction the kahang cu- mo deposit is situated approximately 73 km northeast of isfahan. asadi (2007) identified a geological reserve of 40 mt (proven reserve) grading at 0.53 cu, 0.02 mo and estimated reserve of 120 mt. all the rock types in the region have been subjected to hydrothermal solutions which gave rise to three different alteration facies. the dacite and rhyodacite volcanic rock...

Brothers volcano, which is part of the active Kermadec arc, northeast of New Zealand, forms an elongate edifice 13 km long by 8 km across that strikes northwest-southeast. The volcano has a caldera with a basal diameter of ~3 km and a floor at 1,850 m below sea level, surrounded by 290to 530-m-high walls. A volcanic cone of dacite rises 350 m from the caldera floor and partially coalesces with ...

introduction the garmab copper deposit is located northeast of qaen (south khorasan province) in the1:100,000 scale map of abiz in the eastern tectonic zone of iran. it is hosted by late paleocene-eocene lava flows consisting mainly of andesite, trachy andesite, andesite-basalt and basalt lavas, as well as pyroclastic rocks, including tuffs and ignimbrites. the lut block has undergone intense m...
