Abstract :
Dehaj-Sarduiyeh belt is located in south west of Kerman province and is a part of central Iranian volcanosedimentary complex. There are plenty of porphyry mines in the belt. Mineralization in the area is mainlyporphyritic and associated with extension fractures and hydrothermal alteration. The biggest tertiary porphyrydeposits are concentrated in this area. To help exploration of porphyry copper mineralization in vast areas,spatial relationship between 16 copper porphyry mines and fractures in the area, was studied as a case study.Photo lineament was determined using spatial relationship of copper porphyry mines and fractures. As a resultthere is strong relationship between photo lineament factor porphyry copper mine.
