Identification of promising mineralized areas in the Anzali Geological Map Sheet (Scale 1:100,000), using the Index Overlay Method in the GIS data processing

The Geology sheet of Bandar Anzali on the southwest of Caspian contains parts of the Alborz and Kopet Dagh and Caspian. Plane which has possible of following one types of epithermal gold (presence of granite intrusive bodies, siliceous and argillitic alloys) As it is important to identify the effective factors in the formation of a deposit in obtaining promising areas, the way to integrate the information layers and how to weigh them into these parameters is also has particular importance. For this purpose, exploratory studies to track the mineral prospecting areas were done on 1:100,000 sheet of Bandar- Anzali using a combination of exploratory data including Geological, Geo-chemical, Geo-physical and satellite data in the GIS environment. Therefore, after extensive research, the Index Overlay modeling method, a simple method, is selected and used in the integration of information. The result of these studies was the preparation of a map of promising mineral areas of epithelial gold. Using the final map derived from the combination of different heuristic data, the three regions as the promising areas of the region, respectively, are the priority of the region, the Gasht, Siahmezgi and Masouleh Khani area The Bandar Anzali sheet was introduced which should be visited and sampled in order to control the promising areas.
