Abstract

Antimony-Bandan Mining Area of ​​Niagara is located in the Central Iranian Zone and the boundary of the Lut Block and Tabas Block. The dominant lithology in the Antimony Band - Mining area is metamorphic limestones, slits, sandstones and much of the salt and alluvial sediment area. Mineralization of stibenite with galena, pyrite, iron oxide and hydroxide minerals, quartz, barite, and calcite with tissues such as vacuum fillers, veins, shear and dispersed in host rock of Antimony-Bandang Mining Mineral Range. Is. Mineralization has occurred in the Niemannian Antimony Mineral Range at the intervals of marbles from limestone and dolomite metamorphism. The results of quartz mineral microscopy studies indicate that the homogenization temperature of 150 to 265 ° C was detected, the melting temperature of the last ice crystal was -0.3 to -7.5 ° C, and The salinity level of 0.5 to 11 wt% NaCl has been calculated with frequency range of 2 to 3 wt% NaCl. According to statistical, microscopic, and thermometric evidence, the probable genesis of the Antimony-Bond Nangan mineral range is likely to be in the epithermal ore deposit.
