Agdarreh Mine; Aghdarreh Mine


Abandoned mine in a carbonate-hosted epithermal disseminated gold deposit (24.5 t at 3.7 g/t Au), which is hosted in hydrothermally leached Miocene reefal limestone in the Takab geothermal field (part of the Cenozoic Urumieh–Dokhtar volcanic arc of NW Iran).
The deposit shows many similarities with Carlin-type ore deposits.

Reefal limestone Carlin-type Miocene.
24.5 t @ 3.7 g/t Au
