Sari Gunay

The Sari Gunay deposit is one of the largest gold deposits in Iran and this area which is located in ENE of Qorveh and south of the study area. This deposit is an isolated one in complexes of Miocene magmatism. The component units of this deposit are complexes of igneous rocks which include latite, dacite, rhyolite and subvolcanic stocks (microgranite and microgranodiorite) with high K subalkaline (Richards et al, 2006). This complex is located unconformably over the Triassic-Jurassic schist and limestones and toward north and south and west it goes beneath quaternary alluvium and has a little outcrop. The main difference between this deposit in Qorveh area and other deposits in the Takab area is the absence of early Miocene magmatism which points to the fact that intensity of upwelling in this area is not as high as Takab. Therefore high intensity of upwelling and extensional regime relevant to them in Takab area is the main factor in production of early Miocene magmatism. The geometry of ore in this deposit is mainly crosscuting, vein, veinlets and disseminated ore which are located in fractures with NNE trending and altered margins. The main alteration in this deposit includes chloritization, sericitization, silicification, tourmalinization and K-feldspar.
