The study area is located in NW of Iran, East-Azarbaidjan Province in north Varzeghan. Plagioclase, amphibole and biotite are the major minerals and sphene, apatite, and quartz are accessory minerals. The texture of these dykes are porphyrytic with fine to medium matrix. Mineral chemistry analysis revealed that the composition of Plagioclase varies from andesine to oligoclase and the biotite va...

Roshtkhar Iron deposit is located in southeast of Khorasan Razavi Province about 48 Km east of Roshtkhar. This deposit is geologically located in the northeast of the Lut block in the Khaf-Bardaskan volcanic- plutonic belt. Intermediate igneous rocks such as stock, dyke, lava and pyroclastic deposits are host rock. Igneous rocks are dioritic porphyry, monzosyenitic porphyry, andesite, basalt an...

The study area is located at northeast of Neyshabour in the Khorasan Razavi Province, northwest Arghash Gold Mine. The rocks of area are composed of polutonic to subvolcanic units with acid- intermediate in composition. They consist of granodiorite, diorite and granite. Alteration zones are: propylitic, sericitic, silicified and argillic. In the study area, mineralization is divided into two ty...

: Despite that, in the Alvand complex, the mafic-intermediate rocks (gabbros, diorites and tonalites) are mostly older than felsic rocks (granodiorites and monzogranites), and mineralogical and geochemical discontinuity is seen between them, there are evidence that indicate they have sometimes been co-existed. With the studies on field relationship of rocks, xenocrysts assemblages, synplutonic ...

Intrusion of granodioritic and quartz-dioritic igneous bodies of the Oligocene age into andesitic rocks with the Eocene age resulted in occurrence of widespread argillic alteration zone in the Asbkhan area of Heris (East Azerbaijan Province, NW Iran). A significant portion of this system formed the argillic alteration zone. Based on mineralogical examinations, kaolinite, quartz, smectite, aluni...

Granodiorite and dioritic intrusive rocks (Middle Eocene age) intruded the Lower-Middle Eocene volcanic rocks at the northern parts of the Torud-Chah Shirin volcano-plutonic belt in north east of Iran. This granodiorite is intruded by small rhyolitic dome in the Damghan turquoise-gold mine. According to all data, these intrusive rocks are related to a common source. The primary magma evolved by...
