The Siahrudbar deposit is located about 25 km southwest of Aliabad-Katool city in the Golestan Province, north of Iran. This deposit lies between the Triassic limestone (Elika Formation) and Jurassic sandstone (Shemshak Formation). Mineralogical studies indicate the presence of major minerals such as diaspore, hematite, anatase, kaolinite, and chamosite accompanied by minor minerals such as boehmite, goethite, rutile, calcite, moscovite, clinoclar, quartz, and tridymite. Calculation of enrichment factor showed that the bauxitization processes at Siahrudbar were accompanied by enrichment of elements such as Al, Fe, Ti, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Ga, Th, U, Y, Zr, Ta, Nb, Hf, and REEs. While elements such as Si, Mg, Na, K, P, Ba and Rb were leached out of the profile and suffered depletion. Futhermore, elements like Ca, Mn, Sr and Cs experienced both partial leaching and fixation. Based on the results of geochemical studies, changes in pH and Eh of the weathering solutions, adsorption, presence of organic matter, function of carbonate bed rock as a geochemical barrier, existence in resistant minerals, and fixation in neomorph mineral phases played crucial role in distribution of the trace and rare earth elements in the studied ores. Consideration of the correlation coefficients among elements demonstrated that the neomorph phosphate minerals can be conceived as the potential host of rare earth elements.

Intrusion of tonalitic, granodioritic and quartz-dioritic igneous bodies of Oligocene age into Cretaceous andesite, andesi-basalt and carbonate rocks led to occurrence of widespread argillic alteration zone, along with skarnification in the northeast of Kharvana (East Azarbaidjan Province, NW Iran). Mineralogical studies indicate that argillic alteration zone includes kaolinite, quartz, alunite, pyrophyllite, rutile, chlorite, jarosite, hematite, goethite and pyrite minerals. Geochemical investigations revealed that factors such as low pH, high water/rock ratios, abundant complexing agents in the hydrothermal solutions, and suitable drainage system have played an important role in leaching of elements such as Ga, Sc, Hf, Nb, Th, Ta, Zr, Y and REEs during the development of this zone. The distribution pattern of REEs normalized to chondrite shows differentiation and enrichment of LREEs relative to HREEs and occurrence of negative Eu and Ce anomalies during argillization of andesites. Variations of Eu and Ce anomalies suggest destruction of plagioclase, potassium feldspar and hornblende by hypogene solutions and generation of H2SO4 originated from oxidation of pyrite by supergene solutions in development of this alteration system. The correlation coefficients between elements display the controlling role of Mn-oxides in concentration of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and Tl. Concentration of REEs was controlled by adsorption processes (kaolinite), scavenging by metallic oxides and hydroxides (hematite and goethite) and fixation in neomorphic pahses (rutile, jarosite and muscovite-illite) in this zone.
