The podiform chromitite deposits of the Ordovician Sorkhband ultramafic complex, southwestern Makran, are the largest chromitite deposits in Iran. The Sorkhband ultramafic complex comprises of a northern part of dunite, podiform chromitite, olivine clinopyroxenite, wehrlite and olivine websterite and a southern part of foliated diopsidic harzburgite with subordinate dunite, olivine clinopyroxen...

The Dolatabad area located in SE Iran is a well-endowed terrain owning several chromite mineralized zones. These chromite ore bodies are all hosted in a colored mélange complex zone comprising harzburgite, dunite, and pyroxenite. These deposits are irregular in shape, and are distributed as small lenses along colored mélange zones. The area has a great potential for discovering further chromite...

the spatial distribution of mineralization is the foremost concern in regional exploration and it could be considered as a very important tool in the investigation of mineral deposits. there are several data manipulation methods by which the data can be evaluated. fry analysis is a good method to determine the direction(s) of maximum continuity of the deposits and could be used in different typ...

Chromite is widely distributed in the east and southeast of Afghanistan, especially in Logar Province. Chromite mineralization is podiform-type and is hosted in the stratigraphically lowest ultramafic rocks of the Logar Ophiolite Complex. This ophiolite complex represents a remnant of an early Cretaceous oceanic crust that was thrusted over a late Permian to Mid-Jurassic platform-type sequence ...

The East Sulawesi Ophiolite, one of the three largest ophiolites in world, contains important podiform chromitites. However, origin these chromite deposits is not well constrained. Here, we present detailed mineralogy and situ chemistry solid inclusions within for chromitites from Kabaena Island, Southeast Sulawesi. Chromite grains have low TiO2 (0.17–0.27 wt%) Al2O3 (13.4–15.1 contents high Cr...
