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.

Heiran area is located in northwest of Ardabil and southwest of Caspian Sea. Field evidences indicate submarine volcanic activities in this area. The rocks in this area are of basaltic composition. The outcrops of pillow lavas, prisms, dykes and lava flows in different points are evidences showing the existence of oceanic crust in this area. Studies on other locations of southern margin of Caspian Sea as well as structural and petrological similarities between Heiran and these areas may confirm the fact that Heiran area is part of geo-suture of Caspian Sea southern margin. The submarine lavas in this area attributed to late Cretaceous-Eocene. With regard to petrographical characteristic, these rocks range from andesitic basalt to olivine basalt, and belong to alkaline series. The tectonomagmatic environment of these lavas is related to back arc basin. These magma originated from sub continental lithospheric mantle and formed in a supra subduction environment. During late Cretaceous-middle Paleogene, the closure of Sevan-Akera-Qaradagh led to the formation of marginal basin in the form of a back arc basin in the margin of Caspian Sea. The submarine lavas of Heiran likely originated from the volcanic activities in this marginal basin.
