Abstract
Based on data processing for 51 stream sediment, 115 rock and 22 heavy mineral samples, together with field evidence for mineralization and alteration, mineralization pattern for Rahimi copper-gold prospecting area was analyzed. Twelve primary and secondary geochemical halo maps for Au-Ag-As-Ba-Cu-Co-Hg-Mo-Pb-Sb-W-Zn as well as maps showing iron-oxide minerals in heavy mineral samples were analyzed using new geological and mineralization field evidence for the area. Therefore, two distinct promising areas, with IOGC and porphyry copper mineralization patterns were proposed for semi-detailed studies.
