Area Exploration Takht-e Soleyman Based on Metallic Potentials and Geochemistry
Journal Title: Journal of River Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The explosion area of Takht-e Soleyman is located in the heights of 2811 meters in west azerbaijan province mountains. This site is situated between Takht-e Soleyman and takab villages at about 45 kilometers of the north of west azerbaijan province. In 2006, several geochemical investigations were conducted into this site. The area is covered with volcanites and ecocene sediments which have been interrupted by the intrusions of granodiorite and daciteoids. Volcanites and intrusive rocks have been altered in a zone of about 2 square kilometers. The alteration is more of argillic, silicified and sericite variations but its severity is extremely diverse. The most severe alteration is observed in the central parts of this zone. Furthermore, limonitization is relatively seen in a wide area of this zone in the figure of veinlets and colonization indicating sulfide mineralization underneath the weathering zone. Secondary minerals are rarely found.
