The Muteh gold district is located about 70 km northeast of Golpaygan within Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone of Zagros Structural Belt. Geological studies show that the area had been under poly - phase metamorphism. Gold mineralization occurs in metamorphic complex which consists mainly of green schists, meta-volcanics, and gneisses. Shear zones are the host of gold mineralization, and intense...

Aligoodarz granitoidic plutons (Gole -zard and Darreh -bagh) with Middle Jurassic ages are intruded into low grade regional metamorphic rocks (slate and phyllite) and caused aureole of low to medium grade metamorphic rocks (albite-epidote hornfelse facies). Based on precise field, petrographic and geochemistry investigations, the granites belong to the S- type and their composition range from g...

The studied volcanic and pluton rocks are located in west of Nir city in the Ardebil Province and south of Sabalan volcano. Volcanic rocks in the studied area are display basaltic to trachy-andesite composition with microlitic porphyry texture. The main minerals of basalt to trachyandesite rocks are plagioclase, pyroxene and olivine. Bordering to volcanic units, pluton of microgabbroic to micro...

The Kuh-e Mish plutonic complex (KPC) is located about 30 km south of Sabzevar. Based on tectonic division, it is part of Sabzevar zone. The Stratigraphic units of the area are conglomerate, tuff, and sandstone of the Paleogene, radiolarites, andesite and tuff unit of Upper Cretaceous. This collection consists of two plutonic rocks types. (1): The granitoid complex of northern Kuh-e Mish which ...

Gazu prospect area is located about 65Km southeast of Tabas in the southern part of Shotori range. Sub­­-volcanic intermediate intrusive rocks (Upper Cretaceous?), monzonitic to dioritic in composition, intruded into carbonate rocks of Shotori Formation (Triassic) which are the main source for copper mineralization in Gazu district. Alteration zones associated within the intrusive are: Quartz- ...

abstract the balvard metamorphic assemblage (bma) crops out at the northeastern margin of the southeastern part of the sanandaj-sirjan zone (ssz) in contacting to the dehshir-baft ophiolitic mélange. this location prepared a special situation to resolve some of the complicated tectonic problems of this part of iran. petrology, micro-tectonics and satellite image investigation were carried out ...

The Alvand intrusive complex is located in south of Hamedan in Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. This complex is composed of mafic to felsic rocks such as gabbro, diorite, tonalite, granodiorite, granite, aplite and pegmatite. Granitoid rocks comprise major part of the complex. Granitoids can be divided into two categories: porphyroid granitoids and hololeucocratic granitoids. Porphyroid granitoids are K-r...

The Ghoshchi batholith, ~150 km2 in size is a granitoidic pluton, which intruded the Permian country rocks, in Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, NW Iran. This granitoidic pluton is covered by Oligocene-Miocene sedimentary rocks known as Qom Formation. The Ghoshchi batholith comprises five plutons with following compositions: (a) gabbro-diorite (b) biotite granite, (c) alkali granite, (d) syenites, and (e) ...
