Abstract :

The study area is located 45 km south western of Khaf and west of Zuzan village. Main rocks units are composed of plutonic and sub-volcanic bodies as Diorite, Monzonite, Granodiorite and monzogranite. Slate crops out in the center and northwestern of the study area. They are metamorphosed as schist near the contact with the igneous rocks. Different types of alteration are found with the intrusive rocks. They are includes propylitic, argillic, silicified and carbonate alteration. Secondary iron oxides after sulfide are found in some localities. Both stream sediment and rock chip geochemical exploration carried in the study area. They were analyzed by ICP-Ms for 36 and 41 elements at ACME Lab in Canada. The results show Pb, Mo, Zn and Cu anomalies in both stream sediment and rock chip. Maximum amount of Pb is approximately 1691 ppm and Zn is approximately 1682 ppm. Cu content is about 74 ppm and Mo is about 14 ppm, which is in concordance with propylitic and carbonate silicified alteration zones in the west and the northwestern parts of the study area.
