Abstract

The Khabar iron index is located in about 55 km southwest of Baft and 15 km northeast of Khabar in the southeastern part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. This zone hosts a large number of iron deposits of Iran such as Golegohar in Sirjan. The Khabr iron index is a small and unknown deposit that is mainly composed of outcrops of supergene iron hydroxides. The Khabr iron index is a hydrothermal ore deposit that has occurred in marble during primary and secondary stages as oxide and sulfide (Dehghani Soltani, 2012). There is rare information about mineralogy, paragenesis and genesis of the study deposit This paper aims to study the mineralogy of hypogene and supergene ores and the chemistry of sulfide minerals. The Khabar iron index is located in about 55 km southwest of Baft and 15 km northeast of Khabar in the southeastern part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. This zone hosts a large number of iron deposits of Iran such as
