Quaternary mafic volcanic rocks along the Naybandan fault, Lut block, Eastern Iran
The Iranian plateau occurs within a part of the active Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt. This plateau includes the micro-continental Lut block in Eastern Iran, which extends over 900 km in a north-south direction between latitudes 28o-35oN, and is 200...
Review of Age, Rb-Sr Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of Jurassic to Quaternary Igneous rocks in Lut Block, Eastern Iran
The Lut Block (Eastern Iran) extends over 900 km in a north-south direction and is only 200 km wide in an east-west direction. It is confined by the Nayband fault and Shotori Range on the west. The eastern edge is bordered by the Sistan suture zone...
The Khopik porphyry copper-gold prospect, Lut Block, Eastern Iran: geology, alteration, mineralization, fluid inclusion, and oxygen isotope studies
-Pb zircon ages indicate that the monzonite stocks crystallized over a short time span during the Middle Eocene (39.0 ± 0.8 Ma to 38.2 ± 0.8 Ma) as result of subduction of the Afghan block beneath the Lut block. Porphyry copper mineralization is hosted...
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Fluid Inclusion and Oxygen Isotope Investigations of Epithermal Cu ± Ag Veins of the Khur Area, Lut Block, Eastern Iran
The Khur metallogenic district is located in the volcanic–plutonic belt in the central Lut Block (central eastern Iran). Mineralization occurs in Middle Eocene andesitic tuff and along the four main vein systems trending northwest–southeast (Shurk...
Fracture mapping of lineaments and recognizing their tectonic significance using SPOT-5 satellite data: A case study from the Bajestan area, Lut Block, east of Iran
associated with the tectonic significance of the Lut Block (LB), east Iran were mapped and characterized using SPOT-5 satellite data. The structure of the Bajestan area is affected by the activity of deep strike-slip faults in the boundary of the LB...
Zircon U-Pb geochronology, Hf isotopes in the Simorgh area Zircon U-Pb geochronology, Hf isotopes and geochemistry of intrusive rocks in the Simorgh prospecting area, Lut Block, Eastern Iran: Petrogenesis and geological implications
The Simorgh prospecting area is located in the central part of the Lut Block in eastern Iran. The Lut Block, the eastern part of the Central Iranian Microcontinent (CIM), has a complex tectonic evolution and is characterized by extensive magmatic...
Origin of the Kaviro Lead Deposit in the Neyganan area, Lut Block, Eastern Iran: Constraints from Geology, Fluid inclusions, and Isotope geochemistry
The Kaviro lead deposit is located in the Lut Block, which is an important metallogenic province in Eastern Iran (lat 34°22'N, long 57°18'E). The deposit includes ore-bearing veins and veinlets emplaced in folds and hosted by middle Jurassic slate...
Petrochemical Characteristics of Neogene and Quaternary Alkali Olivine Basalts from the Western Margin of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran
The Nayband strike-slip fault forms the western margin of the micro-continental Lut block in Eastern Iran. Neogene and Quaternary mafic volcanic rocks collected near Tabas, along the northern part of the fault (NNF; 15 Ma), and further to the south...
Discrimination of different erosion levels of porphyry Cu deposits using ASTER image processing in Eastern Iran: a case study on Maherabad, Shadan, and Chah Shaljami areas
Lut block, eastern Iran, is one of the most extensive Cenozoic magmatic rocks that show suitable targets for porphyry Cu-Au and high-sulfidation epithermal Au related to porphyry Cu-Au mineralization. In this study capability of Advanced Space...
Hydrothermal alteration mapping in northern Khur, Iran, using ASTER image processing: a new insight to the type of copper mineralization in the area
Eastern Iran has a great potential for the discovery of different types of mineralization. The study area is a part of Tertiary magmatism of northern Lut block, which is located in Eastern Iran. Geology of the area is mostly covered by volcanic...
