Overview

[edit]

Chargar is the site of epithermal metal ore deposits, which consist primarily of chalcopyrite and gold.[6] The main gangue minerals are quartz, barite, and calcite.[6] The ores are embedded in Eocene volcanic rocks which are classified as andesitic tuff and associated with the Karaj Formation.[6] The Chargar deposit has similarities to the Khalifehlu and Aliabad-Khanchay deposits.[6]
