Abstract

The study area is located in Esfahan province and 21 km SW of Ardestan city, within the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc. Volcanic rocks in this area concluded andesite, trachy-andesite, basalt, dacite, tuffs and ignimbrites rocks. Geometry of the mineralization is stratabound and hosted in the Eocene andesite, textures of the mineralization are vein-veinlet, open space filling, replacement and disseminated. According to the mineralography studies, main minerals of copper are chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, covellite that associated with hematite and magnetite. Main alteration are included argillic, silicification, carbonization and propylitic. Comparison of recognized characteristics of copper mineralization in the study area including host rock, texture, structure, mineralogy, paragenesis of copper minerals and alteration with different types of copper deposits, indicate the most similarity with Manto-type copper deposits
