Structural Analysis of Fractures of Gazkhizan Cu Deposits and Their Relationship with Mineralization in the Area (Central Iran).

The study area is in Troud that is located in the Central Iran Structural Zone. The Troud Fault in the south and Anjilo Fault in the north, played a significant role in the information of structural events and movement of mineralised fluids as well as mineral precipitations through their vertical and sinistral strike-slip movements. Gazkhizan is a mineralised area of 350 m long and 50–70 m wide and an E–W orientation. The highest Cu grade ever obtained is 3.55% which has been extracted from trench number 1. The average Cu grade in the zone on the surface is 2.11%, whilst the amount for the entire zone is equal to 0.82% including mineralised and waste rocks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
