The Troud Chah Shirin belt, located in the Alborz magmatic belt, is one of several mineralized belt in Iran. Ore mineralization in this belt is controlled by faults and fractures. 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. In this study, we use point pattern and Fry analyses to known occurrences and distribution of epithermal mineral deposits, and results show that structural controls play the major role in distribution of these ore deposits. A mechanism of structural controls on epithermal mineral ization, which is involves a more or less regular T fractures of extension faults/fractures at and/or around intersections of F1 and F2 trending strike slip faults/fractures. Spatial data and structural controls can apply for future exploration, for possibly undiscovered occurrences of epithermal ore deposits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
