Abstract

Vorazgh copper deposit is located 22km southeast of QAEN in the East Iran tectonic zone. VOLCANIC ROCKS of the VORAZGH area with an age of Paleocene-Eocene are mainly composed of lava flows (andesite, trachy-andesite and basaltic trachy-andesite) and pyroclastic rocks (various types of tuffs and agglomerate). Based on major and trace elements geochemical data, these rocks have calc-alkaline affinity. They contain high Al2O3 and low Mg contents. All samples are metaluminous with medium to high K-calc-alkaline nature. High values of Rb, Sr, K, U, Th, Zr and Ba and high ratios of K2O/Rb and FeO/Mg indicate the similarity of these rocks to the rocks of active continental margin magmatic arcs. Depletion of high field strength elements (HFSE) such as Ti, Y and Nb, enrichment of rare earth elements (including La and Ce) and large-ion lithophile elements (LILE) are observed, which are subduction-related characteristics. Depletion of HFSEs like Zr, Ti, Y, Nb and enrichment of Ba, Sr and K show crustal contamination at later stage of magmatic process. Copper sulfide mineralization is the result of hydrothermal fluid percolation through the faults. Mineralization occurs as disseminations and veinlets and is restricted to the upper part of the volcanic assemblage. The deposit characterized by simple paragenesis dominated by chalcocite as the main ore mineral. The mineral association is chalcocite, digenite, covellite, bornite and chalcopyrite. In addition to sulfide minerals, native copper, oxide minerals such as cuprite-tenorite and Cu-carbonate were also found.
