applicability of concentration-volume fractal model in order to delineate extraction blocks; case study: sangan, a' anomaly

Separating the different anomalous areas is one of the most important view points in the incipient stages of exploration. fractal models have been proposed and are wide spread applied in order to delineate mineralized zones so concentration-volume approach is on the basis of quantifying the relationship between element concentration and the accumulative volume. therefore it is pretty practical to increase the reliability of estimated blocks. this study aims to recognize of different mineralized blocks by applying c-v model which reveals four geochemical zones in the a' anomaly, which is belonged to the sangan iron ore deposit, defined by 3 fe thresholds of 25.79%, 45.53%, and 65.97%, which represent background (<25.79%), weakly mineralized zone (25.79-45.53%), moderately mineralized zone (45.53-65.97%), and highly one (>65.97%). it can really assist in planning for next stage of mining to have an enlightened view of reservoir block by block.
