Abstract :

Keybarkuh area is located 70 Km in southeast of Khaf, Khorassan Razavi Province. The study area covers about 60 km2, from east it is bounded by Zouzan (Ghasemabad) and from the west by Keybarkuh. Rocks units mapped in the area are: sandstone, shale, limestone, slate, mica schist and a complex of intrusive rock formed as dyke and stock. The composition of intrusive rocks varied between granite to diorite. Skarn has been indentified in some location. In southern part, propylitic alteration with broader extension and sericitic and silicification are
developed. Pyrite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, galena and barite mineralization are recognized. Doing all the necessary correction and generating Maps of TMI, RTP, 1VD, Upward Continuation, relative depth of anomalies are A,B,C,D,E,F are identified. Based on the magnetic anomaly, intrusive rock and types of alteration, the area has potential exploring for porphyry copper system. The central part of the study area based on the occurrences of iron skarn and high magnetic anomaly has potential for iron exploration.
