Abstract

The Aligudarz granitoid is located northwest of Aligudarz, about 20 km east of the Zagros thrust fault within the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic zone. It intruded Triassic and Jurassic metasediments during Laramide orogeny about 35–80 Ma ago. The intrusion has contact-metamorphosed the country rocks up to the albite-epidote-hornfels fancies. Lithologically, the pluton is composed mainly of granite and granodiorite of S-type. The aim of the study is to test the mineralization potential of the intrusion. Geochemical investigations of the Aligudarz granite, for example, the concentration of Li and Ni in biotite and Pb in K-feldspar, and the distribution of Mg/Li, K/Rb, and Sr/Rb bulk rock ratios revealed that the Aligudarz granitoid is no obvious mineralization potential and is barren with respect to economic elements.
