The Nikuyeh district is located south of the Tarom-Hashtjin metallogenic province in Western Alborz. Oligo-Miocene subvolcanic intrusion and Mid-Eocene volcanic rocks with composition of dacite to andesite are main igneous settings associated with Nikuyeh polymetallic epithermal ore mineralization. Igneous phase in the Nikuyeh district are porphyritic granodiorite, monzodiorite, quartz monsonit...

Balazard area is located in west of Nehbandan in the center of Lut Block. Eocene andesite and rhyolite cover most of the area. Subvolcanic rocks such as quartz monzodiorite porphyry, biotite quartz diorite porphyry, pyroxene hornblende diorite porphyry, hornblende pyroxene quartz diorite porphyry and hornblende diorite porphyry intruded the volcanic rocks. Evidence such as disseminated sulfide ...

Khunik area is located in eastern Iran, about 106 km south of Birjand. Preliminary prospecting in the area, using ASTER mineral mapping (SAM) for locating possible alteration zone in the area provided satisfactory results when checked with field observation. The area comprises outcrops of Paleocene to Eocene volcanics, which was intruded telescopically by several subvolcanic intermediate bodies...

Hamyerd iron deposit is located about 74 km north east of Semnan, in the Jam area. This area is situated in the northern part of Central Iran structural zone. The outcrops are Middle-Eocene volcanic and pyroclastic rocks with andesite to andesite-basalt and tuff composition, which are intruded by some intrusive bodies of monzonite to monzodiorite composition in this area. Iron mineralization is...

Hololeucocratic granitoids of Alvand main granitoids crops out as veins with low thickness. They are scattered in the south and west of Hamadan with latitudes of 34° 30´- 35°00´ N and longitudes of 48°00´- 48° 45´ E. This granitoids, based on petrological studies, are in the ranges of leucotonalite, leucogranodiorite and leucoquartz- monzodiorite. The investigation, based on the grain size, sho...

The Kub-e- Zar area is located about 75 Km in southeast of Semnan. Electron microprobe analyses of plagioclases of mafic microgranular enclaves and plutonic host rocks from Kuh-e-Zar area display that they have normal, oscillatory and reverse zoning, so that plagioclase cores of reverse zoning in enclaves have oligoclase and andesine compositions and their rims have andesine and laboradori...

The intrusive bodies of Karaj-Taleghan axis in Central Alborz constitute, intruded the pyroclastic rocks of Karaj Formation in the form of sill, lopolith, stock and plug with distict distribution. Based on microscopic studies, these bodies have similar lithological composition and include olivine gabbro, olivine monzodiorite, olivine monzonite, pyroxene monzonite with felsic dikes of syenite. T...
