“…Geochemical data for the weakly mineralized late Eoceneearly Oligocene Jebal Barez and strongly mineralized middle to late Miocene Kuh Panj plutonic suites indicate emplacement in thicker crust and greater assimilation of crustal materials by the later suite (Shafiei and others, 2009;Shafiei, 2010).…”

“…Middle to late Eocene unconformable deposition of back-arc volcaniclastic sequences with interbedded bi-modal volcanic rocks of the Razak complex, followed by high-K calc-alkaline Jebal Barez gabbroic to granitic intrusions with primitive arc signatures (Shafiei, 2010). The Jebal Barez plutons occur throughout the Kerman arc segment, but they are most widespread in its southern parts (Shafiei and others, 2008).…”

“…Middle-late Miocene intrusion of progressively more felsic calc-alkaline mature arc Kuh Panj dioritic, quartzdioritic, and granodioritic stocks exposed mainly in the northwestern and central parts of the Kerman arc segment (Shafiei and others, 2008). Coeval middlelate Miocene volcanic rocks are not well preserved, suggesting concurrent uplift and magmatism (Shafiei, 2010). Porphyry copper mineralization is mostly related to this magmatic episode, which occurred during the final stages of subduction that preceded the ~10-Ma collision between the Arabian Platform and the Eurasian margin in this region (McQuarrie and others, 2003;Guest and others, 2006 S a v e h -R a f s a n j a n B a s i n S a v e h -R a f s a n j a n B a s i n 7.…”

“…Shafiei (2010) reports a mineral resource of 1,200 Mt at 0.7 percent copper, 0.03 percent molybdenum, 0.06 g/t gold, and 1.14g/t silver based on 1998 data. Singer and others (2008) report the same tonnage but higher grades of 1.2 percent copper, 0.03 percent molybdenum, 0.27 g/t gold, and 3.9 g/t silver at a cutoff of 0.25 percent copper.…”
