Abstract

The Cherlanghush Pb-Zn-Cu deposit is located in northeast of Mahneshan at the northwest corner of Central Iran. Rock units exposed in this area belong to the Cenozoic era including Lower Red Formation, Qom Formation, Upper Red Formation and Quaternary deposits. The Upper Red Formation which is the host for the mineralization, is widely exposed in the study area and consists of alternation of marl, siltstone, oxidized red sandstone and light gray sandstone. The Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization has occurred within the gray sandstones of bleached zone containing organic materials. The mineralization in the Cherlanghush Pb-Zn-Cu ore deposit has occured in two layers. In each layer, there is three zones including mineralized zone, bleached zone and oxidized red zone. The observed textures in the Cherlanghush ore deposit are replacement, disseminated, solution seams, lens-like and inter particle cement texture. The host rocks in the study ore deposit are gray sandstone beds and the primary ore minerals are galena, sphalerite, pyrite, primary chalcocite and chalcopyrite accompanied with secondary ore minerals such as secondary chalcocite, covellite, malachite, azurite, goethite and lepidocrocite. The characteristics of the study ore deposit such as texture and structure, host rock, ore minerals, stratigraphy, and factors controlling the mineralization (presence of organic materials and minor amount of pyrite performing as reductant and also high permeability in the host rock) are most similar to the Upper Red type sedimentary Cu deposits.
