Galali iron deposit is located in the Kurdistan province in western Iran, 2 km north far of the Galali village and is the largest skarn mine in this province. From a geological point of view, this mine is located in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Several iron mines with different country rocks, shapes, dimensions and mineralogy are located in this zone. Open pit method is used for extraction in this mine and it is one of the largest iron mines in the western Iran. This article describes application of the Philips 2013 sustainability statistical model to Assess Environmental Impacts (EIA) as well as to determine the potential level and nature of sustainability in this mine. For this purpose, by field studies, receiving opinions of experts and using the statistical model of the Philips 2013, environmental components and nature of environmental sustainability in relation to extraction in this mine were determined. Results of studies identified, components of soil, landscape of the region, and audio tranquility, have the most damage to mining activity.In addition, with calculations, environmental parameters were more effective than human parameters, and as a result in terms of stability level, mine is stable, with a very poor class. Based on level of damage, necessary arrangements should be improved and implemented.
