Abstract:

Kiruna-type iron deposits are variable concentrations of magnetite-fluoroapatite-actinolite found in volcano-plutonic terranes from Early Proterozoic to Pliocene. No Archean ones are known. The iron ore deposits of Bafq region in central Iran have long been known as Kiruna-type. The origin and tectonic setting of these deposits have been a matter of debate during the last century. In this study, geochemistry of host rocks of Chadormalu and Esfordy iron deposits in Bafq region are investigated to elucidate the spatial-temporal characteristics of iron metallogeny. Geochemical evidence supports a nonorogenic continental setting. The Bafq region metallogenic characteristics are very similar to those of the Neoprotrozoic- Cambrian boundary.
