In this region, many high potential prospects, specially Cu-Au mineralization, have been detected during large scale exploration and reconnaissance phases. In this paper, remote sensing and field geophysics were used for alteration mapping on the surface and ore body delineation on the subsurface, respectively. To this end, we used an ASTER satellite image and different maps were generated by spectral technics such as false color composites and spectral ratios. Results showed argillic (and phillic) alteration in Bab-Zangoeie area is surrounded by propylitic alteration, which could be a promising evidence for Cu mineralization. Integrating these results with previous exploration studies led to selecting target area selection for ground study and field geophysics. We used both induced polarization (IP) and resistivity (RS) methods as two powerful geoelectrical methods by a pole-dipole array along four profiles. After preprocessing analysis, forward and inverse models were constructed in 2D section and 3D overlay model of joint IP/RS anomalies were constructed. Based on the obtained results, the deposit in depth where we proposed drilling targets. Further drilling operation have proved the mineralization in our proposed targets../files/site1/files/152/%D9%86%D8%B8%D8%B1%DB%8C.pdf }, URL = {http://jeg.khu.ac.ir/article-1-2938-en.html}, eprint = {http://jeg.khu.ac.ir/article-1-2938-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Engineering Geology}, doi = {10.52547/jeg.15.2.337}, year = {2021} }
