AB - For evaluation of the mineral potential of Sirutr area in the north east of Khorasan, 140 stream sediment samples were analyzed for Ni , Co, Ag, Sb, Hg and Au. Results of these analyses ind ica te an unusual assay for most of these elemen ts, especia lly for gold a nd ant imony. Statis tical analyses and co mparison of geologic map with the surrace anomaly maps indicate a posit ive re lations hip between Ni a nd Co with mafic and ultramafic rocks in the area; while the unusual distribution of gold, antimony and to a lesser extent mercury can be related to the hydrotbermal processes. From this study it is concluded th a t the statistical analyses along with the geological and geochemical studies are very useful in recognition of the mineralized areas and understanding of tbe mineralizing processes.
