Geochemistry of metamorphic rocks and mineralization in the Golgohar iron ore deposit (No. 1), Sirjan, SE Iran: Implications for paleotectonic setting and ore genesis

The Golgohar iron mine is located southwest of Sirjan in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. The Golgohar ore deposit occurs mainly in the forms of massive, dispersed in altered rocks and rarely stratabound mineralizations, which is related to a fault zone. The mineralization is hosted by metapelites and metabasites. To clarify the paleotectonic, P-T condition of metamorphism and the genesis of the Golgohar ore deposit we report ICP-MS data of...
