The emplacement of Oligo-Miocene age Sheyvardagh intrusive body within the older carbonate and volcanoclastic rocks is responsible for contact metamorphism and creating of Mazraeh deposit in epidote - garnet exoskarn of Western Alborz- lesser Caucasus metallogenic belt. Mineralogical paragenesis consist of magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite, hematite, goethite and malachite and...

The Sahebazzaman Mountain is located on the 8 km east of Kerman. In this area  a granitoidic body has intruded to the Cretaceous limestone and metamorphosed rocks. This skarns is covered with alluvial deposit also due to non enough erosion and existing of alluvial deposit, there is nonvisible but it has shown in isolated outcrop with 6 to 10 meter. The form of outcrop illustrat the granite intr...

Senjedak II & III prospect areas are part of eastern anomalies of the Sangan mine, which is located in northwest of Khaf. The geology of the area consists of Pre-Cambrian schistes, Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, and tuff and biotite monzonite porphyry intrusion with Eocene age. Skarn types in the Senjedak III include pyroxene–garnet skarn, garnet–pyroxene skarn, garnet skarn, ...

The Oshvand Skarn deposit is located about 10 km east of Nahavand city in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. In this area, garnet (grossular-andradite) is the most abundant mineral in the skarn zone and their compositions are in the range of Adr(67.2 - 45.9%) Gro(50.1 - 31.8%) Sps(1.8 - 0.3%) and Prp(2.5 - 0.6%). EPMA data indicate a decrease in andradite and increase in the amounts of grossu...

Keybarkuh Skarn is located in southwest of Khaf and northeast of Lut block in the Razavi Khorasan Province. Cretaceous limestone in the study area was intruded by granitoid plutons and as a result the skarn and related iron minerals were formed. The most important minerals in Keybarkuh skarn are garnet (andradite-grussolar), clino-pyroxine (diopsid – hedenbergite), amphibole, epieote, magnetite...

Andarian area is located north of Tabriz city, north west Iran, and tectonically is a part of Ahar-Arasbaran magmatic belt. Geology of the area includes Miocene shallow pluton, Cretaceous flysch-type sediments, metamorphic rocks )hornfels and skarn( and volcanic rocks. Mineralization occurred in two stages: primary and secondary. The primary ore minerals include Au, pyrite and stibnite. Malachi...

Khut skarn deposit, located in the 50 Km NW of Taft,has formedin the result of Khut granodiorite intrusion into the upper Triassic impure carbonate rocks.Field evidences and mineralogical studies show Khut skarn is calcic type and exoskarn is the major skarn zone in area which associated with ore mineralization.The microprobe analyses show that there are two major types of garnet at garnet-pyro...
