The study area is located in Arasbaran metallogenic zone. Rocks of the Sonajil region include Eocene andesite lava, porphyry microdiorite, Incheh granitoid and Ozuzdaghi Plioquaternary volcanic rocks. Porphyry microdiorite is the main host rock of porphyry type Cu- Mo mineralization in the Sonajil deposit. Much of the mineralization in the Sonajil deposit is dispersive and vein- veinlet type. Based on the structure, mineralogy and texture, the Sonajil vein- veinlets can be divided into sex different groups. These veins - veinlets contains sulfide (pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, bornite, galena, tetrahedrite, tenantite and enargite), hydroxide and oxide (magnetite and spicularite) and carbonate (malachite and azurite) minerals. Various types of fluid inclusions including mono-phase vapor, two-phase liquid and vapor, and multiphase liquid-vapor-solid of primary origin are present within quartz-sulfide veinlets.TH (L-V) for halite-bearing inclusions homogenizing by disappearance of halite and of vapor are 260-565˚C, 320-520˚C, respectively and salinity are 35.3- 69 % NaCl. TH (L-V) for two-phase inclusions homogenizing temperatures are 180-565˚C, and salinity are 0.7- 15.17 % NaCl. In bivariate plot of TH-salinity, two distinct populations of high and low salinity fluids are recognizable and most of the data points relating to the high salinity plot above the halite saturation curve. The coexistence of vapor-rich two-phase and halite-bearing inclusions having similar TH ranges can be indicative of boiling in the Sonajil porphyry deposit.

In the present research, comparative evaluation of various learning algorithms in neural network modeling was performed for ore grade estimation in Sonjail porphyry copper deposit. The main goal of the following investigation would be optimizing the network architecture and to present an architectural optimization trend to better performing the copper grade estimation within the region. Therefore, 12 algorithms were investigated back propagation learning algorithms. Based on this research it is merged that by applying the LM and BFG algorithms, there would be the best performance. The reasons why the other algorithms have the same performance would be presented within the paper as well. The input parameters are coordinates and the outputs are the copper grades for each specified point. To obtain the optimal structure, a network with different layers has been applied, which it has acquired 12 neurons within one layer. To investigate the data normal shapes, various normal shape has been acquired in the [0 1], which could merged the best results. Finally to get the best network optimizations several transfer functions have been applied, and the sigmoid transfer function illustrated least error when the transfer function is selected. Considering the optimal conditions, the R2 value has merged 0.946 for network which could be the result showing that the optimal network architecture causes estimation improvement.

The Sonajil area is located in ~17 km east of Heris, East-Azarbaidjan. The major lithological units in the area include bodies of volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks (lower to middle Eocene), Sonajil porphyry stock (upper Eocene-lower Oligocene), Incheh granitoid stock (diorite, syeno-diorite, gabbro) (middle-upper Oligocene), and Okuzdaghi volcanic rocks (Plio-Quaternary). The Sonajil porphyry stock hosts a porphyry copper-type mineralization and varies in composition from micro-syenodiorite through micro-gabbro-diorite to micro-gabbro and micro-granodiorite, featuring principally porphyritic to microlithic porphyry textures. The parental magma of these igneous bodies had shoshonitic character (to high-K calc-alkaline), and tectonically belongs to post-collisional volcanic arc. Various generations of banded quartz, quartz-sulfides, quartz-oxides, and sulfides veinlets and micro-veinlets were developed within the porphyry body featuring typical stockwork texture. Veins of sulfide mineralization are also present in peripheral parts of the porphyry body. Alteration and mineralization occurred principally within the Sonaljil porphyry stock. Three types of pervasive hypogene alterations are developed in Sonajil stock: (1) potassic; (2) phyllic; and (3) propylitic. The principal hypogene opaque minerals include pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, tetrahedrite, enargite, molybdenite, hematite and magnetite occurring as dissemination and stockwork (veinlets and micro-veinlets). The chief supergene minerals in this body are hematite, goethite, malachite, azurite, chalcocite, covellite, and clay minerals.
