This study aims to differentiate between Cu-Mo and Cu-Au porphyry deposits within Iran through fractal modeling, utilizing the Mo/Au geochemical index as a primary determinant. Employing the Concentration-Number (C-N) fractal model, the Mo and Au values within Iranian copper porphyry deposits were comprehensively classified. The findings from the fractal modeling reveal distinct criteria for separating these deposits. Cu-Mo porphyry deposits are identified by Mo concentrations ≥141 ppm, while Cu-Au porphyry deposits are characterized by Au concentrations ≥398 ppb. The pivotal threshold for the Mo/Au ratio stands at 1585, facilitating the division between these distinct types of porphyry deposits. Within the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc, numerous Cu-Mo porphyry deposits, exemplified by globally recognized sites like Sarcheshmeh and Sungun, are prevalent. Conversely, Cu-Au porphyry deposits are found in the NW and SW regions of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc and eastern Iran, typified by occurrences like Dalli. The study's findings reveal a correlation between geological characteristics and the ages of porphyry deposits, indicating that those formed during the Miocene period and later are predominantly of the Cu-Mo (Copper-Molybdenum) porphyry type.
