Abstarct: Cheshmeh Hafez deposit, which now is an abundant mine, is located in the 190 km of southwest of Shahrood and in the northern margin of Central Iran Zone. Surrounding rocks of this deposit are middle upper Eocene volcanic and volcanosedimentary complex. These rocks include a wide variety of the compositional range from basalt, trachybasalt, andesite to trachyandesite. They have calc-alkaline and weakly alkaline nature and they belong to continental arc tectonic setting. Polymextalic Cheshmeh Hafez deposit has very wide variety of minerals such as gallena, bornite, chalcopyrite, digenite, sphalerite, covelline, pyrite, calcosite, malachite, cerussite and barite. Quartz and calcite are late phases which resulted from crystallization ore forming fluids and from final products of fractional crystallization, which find with the mentioned above minerals. Ore bodies of this deposit generated by substitution in host rock and ore filling the open spaces, vein and veinlet structures and comb, reactional and poikilitic textures have been seen in the studied polished and thin sections of this deposit. Lead, copper and zinc are the major elements of the ore minerals of the Cheshmeh Hafez deposit and their average frequency are as follows: 4.47, 2.64 and 1.73 (% wt). Because of the action of tectonic activity and their results and also the existence of the plutons in depths, evolution, fractionation and their later evolutions such as hydrothermal fluid cycles are resulted in producing of the studied deposit. baxsed on the carried out studies, Cheshmeh Hafez deposit is belongs to polymextalic epithermal (Cu–Pb–Zn–Ag) deposits.
