Abstarct: The Bagh-Ghazi copper- gold mineralization is located at the NW of Kashmar. The study area is a part of Khaf-Darooneh volcanic-plutonic belt, Sabzevar Subzone. The lithological units in this area including lower Eocene volcanic rocks. Granite and
granodiorite bodies is probably intruded into volcanic complex in the Oligocene and caused intense epidotic, argillic and silicic hydrothermal altrations. Volcanic rocks and intrusions of Bagh- Ghazi belongs to medium to high K calc- alkaline magmatic series and have been formed during tensional tectonic regime related to subduction. The Eocene volcanic rocks (particularly andesite and dacite) hosting gold-copper bearing silicic veins and veinlets and hydrothermal breccias. The effective factors in Cu- Au mineralization at the study area include: 1- host rocks, 2- structural controls, 3- intrusive bodies and 4- hydrothermal fluids, that have a specific role in the transfer of hydrothermal fluids and their accumulation and deposition. Hypogene ore minerals including: pyrite, chalcopyrite, chalcocite, oligiste and supergene species: chalcocite, covellite, digenite, malachite, goethite and limonite. Open space filling, banded, colloform and breccia textures are the dominant textures in the Bagh- Ghazi ore mineralization. There is positive and high correlation of Au with Cu, As, Bi, Ag, Fe, Pb, and Zn elements in the ore geochemical data. baxsed on the fluid inclusions studies on quartz, mineralization formed in temprature range 118-350 ◦C (average 230.63 ◦C) and 2.5-15.45 salinity (average 8.79 ) wt% NaCl. baxsed on geologic, lithology, mineralogy, structure and texture, geochemical and fluid inclusions significations, the Bagh- Ghazi copper-gold ore indication is an intermediate sulfidation epithermal in Kashmar area.
