In Astaneh area (southwest Arak), in the contact with rhyodacitic subvolcanic rocks xenoliths with pyroxene- hornfels mineralogical composition have formed. These rocks have mineral paragenesis including corundum + spinel + andalusite + K-feldspar + plagioclase+ muscovite + biotite and chlorite with granoblastic, lpydoporphyroblastic, porphyrolpydoblastic, symplectite and poikiloblastic texture...

Triassic (mostly volcanic-carbonate) and Jurassic (mainly shale and sandstone) rocks in west of Malayer were affected by a number of shear zone, folding, deformation and metamorphic events. Regional metamorphism in the area led to the formation of Triassic and Jurassic rocks such as phyllite, slate and crystalline carbonate which folded during deformational events. In the contact metamorphism e...

Mahour polymetal deposit located west of Nehbandan, east-central Iran, formed in hypabyssal acid rocks. Mineralization occurs along a three-km-long vein. Three zones have observed in the ore, downward: 1) leached zone marked by malachite, azurite, hematite, goethite and limonite, 2) supergene zone characterized by bornite, covellite, and chalcocite, and 3) Hypogene zone containing magnetite, ch...

Qaleh-Zari mine is the largest Cu-Au vein type deposit in Iran and is located about 182 km south of Birjand (Khorasan province). The ore grade ranges from Cu= 0.5-8%, Au= 0.5-15 ppm, and Ag= 20-150 ppm. Mineralization concentrated in three major veins. Host rock. .. are mainly andesite to basaltic andesite (paleocene-Eocene). The main paragenesis is: quartz. hematite (specularite), chlorit...

The Gol-Gohar metamorphic complex, a part of east Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, is located 55 km southwest of Sirjan. This complex consists of metapelitic, metapsammitic and metacarbonatic rocks. Field and geochemical evidence indicate that these sedimentary protolith sequences were composed of shale and sandstone alternation with carbonate layers in the upper parts. In the studied metapelites, garnets...

Namegh area is located northeast Kashmar, Khorasan Razavi Province, and contral parts of the Khaf-Kashmar-Bardaskan magmatic belt. Geology of the area consists of trachyandesite and pyroclastic rocks including trachyandesitic to rhyolitic tuff, which are intruded by monzodioritic dykes. Mineralization is occurred as vein type with NW-SE trending and 75°NE inclination hosted by trachyandesite an...

Contact metamorphism in the Shahindezh Metamorphic Core (SMC), which is occurred due to intrusion of Pichaghchi granodiorite during Laramian orogeny (Upper Cretaceous), is studied here. The well deve loped mineral parageneses at the aureo le is quatz + plagioclase + biotite + cordierite ± chlorite ± K-feldspar ± muscovite ± andalusite ± sillimanite ± garnet. Pressure and temperature of the...

Temelieh area is located about 20 Km northwest of Selseleh (Lorestan Province). Geologically, the area is a small part of the Harsin radiolarite complex. Petrography consists of radiolarite, peridotite, gabbro, plate dikes, basalt and andesite, limestone, and marble. Manganese mineralization occurs as vein-veinlet and is mainly formed in faults, joints, and fractures that crosscut in radiolarit...
