        Mineralogy, gold mineralization and metal contents of the Gadir deposit have been investigated during current research in order to determine the geological conditions, temporal and spatial relationship with certain mineral assemblages and associations. The mineralogy of orebodies is mainly composed of pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, petsite, native gold, electrum and subordinate molybdenite. Gold is hosted by pyrite and chalcopyrite minerals in fracture-filling textures and forms a thin dispersion condition. The native gold was observed in chalcopyrite, which is probably related to the second stage of ore deposition. The Gadir deposit can be classified to Au-Ag-Cu-Zn±Pb stockwork-type mineralization which is characteristic of low sulfidation epithermal deposit. پرونده مقاله

        2 - Prognosis of of gold mineralization phases by multifractal modeling in the Zehabad epithermal deposit, NW Iran

        Concentration–Number (C–N) fractal method has been used for determining and separating mineralization phases based on surface lithogeochemical Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, As and Sb data in the Zehabad epithermal deposit, NW Iran. Five mineralization phases are demonstrated by multifractal modeling for the mentioned elements correlating with geological studies. The extreme phase of Au mineralization is higher than 7.9 ppm, which is correlated with hematite deposition in silicic veins and veinlets, whereas Ag (˃79.43 ppm), Cu (˃15.85%), Pb (˃63.1%), Zn (˃11.2%) extreme phases are associated with the main stage sulfidation phases. The results show that Au, Cu, Pb, Zn and Ag have two different mineralization trends based on the multifractal nature in this area. These trends are presented based on oxidic and sulfidic mineralization. According to mineralogical studies, the main stages of mineralization include: 1) formation of chalcopyrite ± sphalerite in silicic veins in sulfidic trend; 2) deposition of native gold and specular hematite in silicic veins in response to boilling, in oxidic trend; 3) next phase of fluid penetration and replacing chalcopyrite by galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite-tennantite in the sulfide veins, in sulfic trend. Neighbouring copper and silver are due to the formation of tetrahedrite-tennantite solid solution. The obtained results show a positive correlation between mineralization phases and the faults present at the deposit. Moreover, mineralization phases of these elements demonstrate a good correlation with silicification and silicic veins and veinlets. پرونده مقاله

        3 - Geochemistry, mineralogy and genesis of Antimony mineralization in Choopan area, South Khorasan
        Ali Nokhbatolfoghahai Mehrdad Behzadi Ahmad Khakzad Mohammad Yazdi
        Choopan antimony deposit is located in the North of Lout desert, Central Iran. This area contains volcanic rocks of Early Tertiary, which are important for Sb, Pb & Zn, Ag, As, Cu and Au. Gold is below detection limit in major of these rocks. The main rocks in this چکیده کامل
        Choopan antimony deposit is located in the North of Lout desert, Central Iran. This area contains volcanic rocks of Early Tertiary, which are important for Sb, Pb & Zn, Ag, As, Cu and Au. Gold is below detection limit in major of these rocks. The main rocks in this area are volcanic rocks that have composite of toleoithic type, with dacite and andesite rocks. The main minerals are stibiconite, stetefeldite, bindehimite, galena, sphalerite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, sinabar, pyrolusite and chalcopyrite. The country rock in veins is dacitic porphyry rocks. The mineralization is associated by pervasive alteration of sericitization, argillitization, silicification, carbonization and propylitization. The alterations and mineralization are accompanied by faults directions, which seem to be main sources for hydrothermal circulation in these rocks. During the study 77 samples were analyzed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, and Ag, As, Sb, Hg, Cd and MO by AAS. Data processing showed that the Sb anomaly was developed mainly over the north and southeast area. The average of Sb content is about 4000ppm. There are good correlation between Sb and Pb and Ag. Geological, petrological, mineralogical, geochemical and fluid inclusion studies showed that the Sb mineralization in the Choopan area is a new epithermal type Antimony namely Supergen Adularia – Sericite or Sulphid Antimony – silver type. پرونده مقاله
