This paper reviews the tectonic, magmatic, and metallogenic history of the Tethyan orogen
from the Carpathians to Indochina. Focus is placed on the formation of porphyry Cu±Mo±Au …

Porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) in Iran are dominantly distributed in Arasbaran (NW Iran),
the middle segment of the Urumieh–Dokhtar Magmatic Arc (UDMA), and Kerman (central SE …

The Tethyside orogen, a direct consequence of the separation of the Gondwanaland and the
accretion of Eurasia, is a huge composite orogenic system that was generated during …

Abstract The Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA), located on the southeast of the
Central Iranian volcano-plutonic belt, hosts some world class porphyry copper deposits …

In this contribution, we investigate the space and time distribution of the Cenozoic
magmatism and the associated porphyry Cu-Mo±Au and other hydrothermal (mostly …

Abstract The US Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Resources Program develops mineral-
deposit models for application in USGS mineral-resource assessments and other mineral …

Miduk hypogene and supergene porphyry Cu–Mo mineralization occurs within the Miocene
porphyritic quartz–diorite and host Eocene plagioclase–hornblende phyric andesitic …

A wide variety of porphyry copper deposits have been reported along the Cenozoic Urumieh–
Dokhtar magmatic arc in Iran. The formation of these deposits is attributed to closure of Neo …

Iran is a resource-rich country, with large deposits of iron, copper, zinc, and gold, as well as
industrial minerals and oil and gas. Most of these resources were formed in response to …

Abstract The Cenozoic Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA) is considered as one of the
major Cu-bearing regions of the world, with high potential for the occurrence of porphyry …
