Au-rich, lens-like Kuroko-type volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit of Cretaceous age (Lower Cretaceous-Tertiary according to other source). Discovered in 2003.
Average 0.5 to 5 g/t Au.

The original synvolcanic stratiform textures were overprinted and deformed (in shear zones) by greenschist-facies metamorphism.
The deposit is situated in the northwestern part of the metamorphic Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone that stretches as a NW-SE zone in western Iran.

Located 18 km east of Sardasht city.
