Investigation of Geochemical Sections in Exploratory Boreholes of Mesgaran Copper Deposit in Iran
Abstract: Mesgaran copper deposit is located in Sarbisheh city of South Khorasan province of Iran. To investigate the geochemical changes of the elements with increasing depth in the deposit, geochemical sections for important minerals related to mineralization in the area including copper, lead, zinc and cobalt were drawn for 9 exploratory boreholes. In these sections, the trend of changes of different elements versus depth is shown and the resulting diagrams were drawn for different boreholes. As a result, there is a significant relationship between the elements. With increasing the drilling depth, the amount of copper decreased and the amount of copper in each section was determined according to its cause.
