Abstract

Iran is located in the middle part of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt and resulted from the evolution of the at least three Tethyan oceans (Proto, Paleo and Neo-Tethys). The evolution of Tethyan oceans caused to formation of different types of mineralization in Iran during Precambrian- Cambrian to recent time. The manto-type copper deposits is one of the most important deposits in Iran which occurred within the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc (UDMA), Lut block, Sanandaj-Sirjan Magmatic-Metamorphic Zone (SaSZ), Sabzevar subzone and mainly Alborz Magmatic Belt (AMB).
