1 - Occurrence of native copper mineralization within the volcanic host rocks of the Garmabe Paein Cu-Ag volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit, southeast of Shahrood
Majid Tashi

The Garmabe Paein copper-silver volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit is located 290 km southeast of Shahrood and occurred within the Upper Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequence in the Sabzevar subzone, north-east of Iran. Native copper mineralization occurred wi More

The Garmabe Paein copper-silver volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit is located 290 km southeast of Shahrood and occurred within the Upper Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequence in the Sabzevar subzone, north-east of Iran. Native copper mineralization occurred within the Cretaceous volcanic host rocks of the Garmabe Paein deposit including andesite-basalt with amygdaloidal texture, trachyandesite and volcanic breccia, and Paleocene conglomerate, as vein-veinlets and disseminated forms. Geochemical studies indicate that the volcanic rocks have basaltic compositions and calc-alkaline nature, deposited within a back-arc basin. Major wall rock alterations are dominated by chloritic and minor zeolitic mineralization. This study shows that diagenesis and burial process in the host volcano-sedimentary sequence produced relatively hot and brine fluids which leached copper from the volcanic rocks and deposited as native copper under reduced conditions within the Late Cretaceous andesit-basalt and trachyandesite and Paleocene conglomerate. Considering host rock types, mineralogy and alteration, the native copper mineralization in the Garmabe Paein deposit show most similarity with the native copper mineralization in the basaltic rocks (Michigan-type), which occurred slightly after formation of the Garmabe Paein VMS deposit during diagenesis, burial metamorphism and uplift.

The Sebandoon copper deposit is located in the northern part of the Sabzevar subzone. The rock units exposed in the area consist of upper Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequences of trachyte, trachyandesite, basalt, split, shale, dacite and sandstone. The Sebandoon nati More

The Sebandoon copper deposit is located in the northern part of the Sabzevar subzone. The rock units exposed in the area consist of upper Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequences of trachyte, trachyandesite, basalt, split, shale, dacite and sandstone. The Sebandoon native copper deposit comprises stratabound mineralization which is hosted in split basalt. The main ore structures and textures in the deposit include disseminate, veinlets, open space filling and replacement forms. The ore mineral assemblages are simple and consist of native copper, coprite and malachite and main gang minerals are zeolite, calcite, quartz, chlorite and epidote. Fluid inclusion studies on ore-bearing zeolite reveal that majority of primary inclusions are liquid-rich two-phase (LV) ones. The studies indicate homogenization temperatures were between 228 and 340°C and salinity varied between 0.6 to 5.7 wt% NaCl eq. Based on the evidence from geology, mineralogy, alteration, fluid inclusion, and geodynamic environment, the Sebandoon copper deposit is similar to Michigan copper type deposits, in which copper was leached from the basaltic rocks during burial metamorphism and the ore-forming fluids moved upwards and subsequently deposited as native copper due to low pressure and mixing with meteoric fluids.

Dochileh copper deposit is located 72 km east of Shahrood, 15 km east of Mayamey, in North Central Iran volcanic belt. The stratigraphic sequence of the region comprises a considerable amount of volcanic and volcanic-sedimentary deposits of Eocene. these deposits are locally covered by Neogen and Quaternary deposits. The volcanic rocks hosting mineralization are composed of different rocks including basalt, andesite basalt and trachy andesitebasalt rocks that often contain plagioclase and clinopyroxene phenocrysts. The copper mineralization mostly occurred along the faults and fractures with the dominant trend of NW-SE in the basaltic rocks as vein-veinlets and open space fillings. Ore minerals including primary native copper and hematite, and secondary minerals such as malachite, goethite, hematite. gangue minerals such as calcite, zeolite and analcime. The wallrock alterations in the host rocks include chloritic, carbonatic, analcime-zeolite and iron oxide. The oxidation of mafic minerals such as pyroxene and magnetite were responsible for copper reduction and hematitic alteration. Geochemical investigation indicates that amounts of Cu and Ag are up to 5.11 wt% and 7.8 ppm, respectively. According to field studies, mineralogy and alteration, the Duchileh copper deposit appears to be formed during diagenesis and burial metamorphism, and dominantly during the orogeny and uplift processes, due to enterance of hot ore fluids along the fractures and faults perpendicular to the fold axis. The Duchileh deposit have a large resemblance to the basaltic copper or Michigan-type copper deposits in terms of tectonic setting, host rock, mineralogy, metal content, alteration and ore controls.
