Introducing iron mineralization anomaly based on geophysical data in Farash area, Kerman province

The study area is located in Farash 1:50000 sheet in Kerman province, at a distance of about 50 kilometers from the Jiroft-Darb Behesht road in the Jebalbarez zone. The study area is located in Bam 1:250000 sheet in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. Rock units include granite, granodiorite and volcano-sedimentary rocks combined with tuff, nummulite limestone, conglomerate and agglomerate. Due to intrusion of igneous rocks in the southern part of limestone and tuff, iron skarn mineralization is occurred. Using processing and interpretation of 1030 data ground magnetic survey with lines space of 25 meters and preparing maps of magnetic intensity and using data layers such as geological and tectonic maps, areas with potential mineralization of iron ore were introduced. After field control, it was cleared that the main outcrops of iron ore are concentrated in the central parts of the South East. The main host iron ore are skarn and granite in the middle part of the area. Trend of mineralization is NW-SE and main minerals of iron are magnetite and hematite. Iron mineralization are also occurred in zones of argillic and propylitic alteration.
