Abstract
Introduction The granitic rocks are divided into magnetite and ilmenite series (Ishihara 1977), coinciding spatially with the I-type (eNdi0; (87Sr/86Sr)i~0.704-0.706) and S-type granites (eNdi 0.707, N-MORB normalized patterns with enrichment in Low- and High Field Strength Elements (LFSE and HFSE) and depletion in P and Ti contents, chondrite-normalized patterns with flat heavy rare earth elements (HREE) patterns, magnetic susceptibility 4 km, regional metamorphism at green schist facies (and amphibolite) following Cimmerian orogeny, low (Eu/Eu)N (reducing conditions), magnetic susceptibility 0.707) show that, unlike previous studies, these granitoids are S-type granitoids formed by melting the continental crust in a collisional zone. Therefore, tin mineralization might probably occurred in connection with them. However, there is ample evidence of the absence of tin mineralization by the magma that forms these S-type granitoids, that are including the lack of hydrothermal fluids and consequently mineralization potential (due to the absence of alteration minerals in ASTER satellite images), low content of tin, copper, lead and zinc elements in these granitoids Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone and associated river sediments, (Eu/Eu)N value > 0.2, Rb/Sr 200 ppm, as well as the geological, geophysical and geochemical similarities to barren S-type (ilmenite series) granitoids in Lut block (in Najmabad, Sorkh kuh to Shah kuh areas) which have formed in a continental collision system during the Cimmerian orogeny.
