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