ABSTRACT
This study aims at prospecting copper and gold promising areas in Saveh 1:100,000 sheet, situated in Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt (Central Iran). Geographic information system (GIS) is effective in recognition of probable mineral resources by collecting, processing, exploration layer weighting and integrating thematic maps. As there is no certainty in different geological phenomena, modeling and integrating information layers are used to obtain suitable results for determining potential areas. In this study, index overlay method, which is a combination of software processing and expertise knowledge, was used. The survey layers consist of the lithologic units, geophysical data, mineralization, faults and structures and alteration. [...]

Badanie to ma na celu poszukiwanie miedzi i złota z perspektywicznych obszarów w Saveh na arkuszu 1:100 000, położonego w pasie magmowym w Urumieh-Dokhtar (Centralny Iran). System informacji geograficznej (GIS) jest skuteczny w rozpoznaniu przypuszczalnych zasobów surowców mineralnych poprzez gromadzenie, przetwarzanie warstwy ważenia poszukiwań i integracji map tematycznych. W celu uzyskania właściwych wyników dla potrzeb określenia potencjalnych obszarów do eksploatacji, użyto techniki modelowania i zintegrowanej informacji o warstwach geologicznych. W tym badaniu została użyta metoda wskaźnikowa, która jest kombinacją komputerowego sposobu przetwarzania danych i wiedzy eksperckiej. Badane warstwy geologiczne opisane są pojęciami litologicznymi, danymi geofizycznymi, stopniem mineralizacji oraz zaburzeniami tektonicznymi. [...]
