The Shahr-e-Babak district, as the studied area, is known for its large Cu resources. It is located in the southern side of the Central Iranian volcano–sedimentary complex in SE Iran. Shahr-e-Babak is currently facing a shortage of resources, and therefore, mineral exploration in the deeper and peripheral spaces has become a high priority in this area. This work aims to identify the geochemical...

the aim of this study was to identify various sulfidic mineralized zones in the ghare-tappeh cu deposit (nw iran) based on geo-electrical data including induced polarization (ip) and resistivity (rs) using the concentration-volume (c-v) and number-size (n-s) fractal models. the fractal models were used to separate high and moderate sulfidic zones from low sulfidic zones and barren wall rocks. b...

The ability to produce three-dimensional physical property models of the subsurface from surface geophysical data, coupled with an increasing need to explore for minerals in concealed terranes, results in geophysical inversions providing more significant information to the exploration team. We examine the role that geophysical inversion can play in an integrated mineral exploration program, and...

Gravity gradient data are currently enjoying a boost in popularity as their usefulness in both structural and stratigraphic petroleum exploration is re-discovered (i.e. Pawlowski, 1998) and as their use in mineral exploration is rapidly expanding. Gravity gradiometry’s ability to reject common-mode noise, directly measure quantities that must be calculated from potentially noisy data with stand...

Renewable energy exploration and development is currently enjoying new interest as the nation seeks to lessen its dependence on foreign oil sources. Geothermal energy is competitive in areas where high heat flow and crustal water circulation combine to provide a readily accessible resource. Nevada in particular has abundant potential for geothermal energy development. The effort at present with...
