Abstract :

The Jajarm bauxite deposit is located 175 km southwest of Bojnourd. This deposit has been developed as a stratiform horizon along the contact of Triassic dolomites and the Jurassic shales and sandstones. The deposit has been cutted with several strike-slip and thrust faults. Choosing suitable areas to carry out exploration programs is very important in terms of economics and the efficiency of mining operations. The aim of this study is the assessment of ore quality, ore grade controlling factors and developing major criteria to selection the best area using statistical analysis and geographical information system. This study has been investigated the rule of faults, topography and depth on the ore grade. Combination of the results shows the increasing of the grade and ore quality near the faults with decreasing of topography and depth.
