Abstract

The main purpose of this study is processing of raw data by factor analysis method and having interpretation and integration them by geological, alteration and mineralization data. The distinctiveness of third factor of factor analysis for Au, Mo and W and the coincidence of third factor anomalies by gold, high primary sulfide bearing area, secondary iron oxide and sericitic and silicic alterationrevealed that the third factor of factor analysis is the agent of mineralization in the study area. The suitable tectonic setting, shallow depth intrusiveswithintermediate composition, calc-alkalineand oxidant magmatism, anomaly of gold and disseminated mineralization in thehost rock and sulfide veinlet accompanied byabundant secondary iron oxide providedproperconditions for porphyry and epithermal type gold mineralization in the study area.
