About the Meyverud ore field

Among the rocks of the Meiverud ore field (Iran), the oldest are the Upper Cretaceous terrigenous-carbonate flyschoids. Skarns are formed in the contact between the Oligocene intrusive complex and the flysch. Mineralization of the ore field is spatially and genetically related to the intrusive complex and the formations of its porphyry phases. The ores belong to the gold-quartz-small-sulfide mineral type, which are represented by quartz-ore veins and stockworks. Nugget gold visible with the naked eye is also observed in the ore field along with finely dispersed gold. The functioning of the hydrothermal solution proceeded in one stage, which was prolonged in time. The information may be of practical value in studying the geology and exploration of this type of deposit.
