Abstract

The study area is located in the south of Markazi province, in Khomein city, in the Sanandaj- Sirjan zone and in the lead and zinc metal belt of Malayer-Isfahan. The research was conducted on 170 samples of 33 boreholes in Haft-Savaran area to identify Pb anomaly. Studies have shown that original and modified singularity models provide acceptable results for geochemical anomalies, but the results of the weighted singularity model were not significant in the two- and three-dimensional studies. Therefore, two-dimensional and three-dimensional integration of singularities are effective in separating the position and spreading the anomalies.Modified singularity model could provide better results than the original singularity method due to the separation of weak anomalies. Coefficient of areal association also indicated a high correlation between original and modified singularity models. Finally, it was found that Pb mineralization has a SW- NE trend in the region.
