  Author(s): Gholamreza Fotoohi Rad*
  
  The volcanic complex of North Khour is located in southern khorasan province, in 90 km of northwest of Birjand.The study volcanic igneous rocks are including Basaltic andesite, Andesite and trachyandesite, Latite, Dacite to Rhyodacite and pyroclastic rocks are including Tuff and breccia. The majority texture of these rocks is porphyry. Magmatic series of most samples are calc alkaline but some samples have inclination to tholleiitic serie. Furthermore in diagram of magmatic arc definition, the study rocks are situating in field of continental arc and seems which magmatism of area has been result of subduction of a oceanic crust under the continental crust. Because of the area is an upper part of a cu porphyry system, this paper is a very important research to know more about this system. Iron mineralization in area is as magnetite, hematite and as lower amount of .. View More»
