Abstract
Dehaj-Sarduiyeh area is located in the central Iranian volcano-sedimentary complex, southwest of the Kerman province. The study area, in the southern part of this complex, is located with the copper mineralization which is mainly of porphyry type and is associated with extensive hydrothermal alteration. This area has a great potential as far as tertiary porphyry copper deposits are concerned. To provide guides for exploration of porphyry copper mineralization at a district scale, we examine the spatial association between known 16 copper deposits and fracture in the area. Analysis of the lineaments interpreted out of ETM + (band8) data is recognized as another method for locating porphyry type copper mineralization. There is a close correlation between photolineament factor values and the known copper mineralization in the area.
