The study area is located about 25 km northwest of Takestan city, within Tarom-e-Sofla metallogenic belt. This area is covered by a widespread Eocene andesite to dasite volcanic rocks affected by Oligo-Miocene monzogranite to granodiorite igneous bodies which altered them to silicic, argillic zones as long as hypogene sulfide vein-veinlet mineralization (e.g. galena, sphalerite, pyrite, rare ch...

The Argash antimony ore deposit is located at south of Neyshabour and the eastern part of the Sabzevar zone. This deposit occurs within a sequence of Eocene-Oligocene volcanic-intrusion rocks. The mineralization occurs as open space filling, taking place as irregular veins, veinlets and hydrothermal breccias. The mineralogy of the veins is comparatively simple. The primary antimony-bearing mine...

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...

Kalchoyeh copper deposit is located about 110 km east of Isfahan, in Central Iran, Urumieh- Bazman volcanoplutonic belt. Host rocks of this deposit are Eocene volcanic rocks and tuffs which are pyroxene andesitic lava and sandy and lithic tuffs. Sandy tuffs are the main host rocks of the deposit. Ore mineralization is taken place as veins and veinlets and quartz is the main gangue mineral. Hypo...
