Abstract
The aim of this study is to delineate the Cu, Au, and Pb anomalies in Sarajeh 1:100,000 sheet located in Urumieh-Dokhtar ore belt, central Iran. The analyzed elements of stream sediment samples taken in the area can be classified into six groups (factors) by factor analysis. The concentration–area and number–size multifractal inverse distance weighted models were applied for recognition of the elemental thresholds which are similar in both used multifractal models. According to the thresholds, the elemental concentration distribution for Cu, Au, and Pb were divided to three lithological classifications, namely mainly c alkaline porphyry with Cu–Au mineralization, mafic and sedimentary rocks. The results illustrate that the major anomalies of Cu, Au, Pb and related factors are mostly located around intrusions, volcanics, and along NW–SE faults.
