Typically, for every one thousand mineral occurrences investigated, only one hundred warrant drilling and of these, only one ultimately proves to be economically mineable. PAKISTAN Factors that influence investment decisions for scarce exploration funds include geological prospectivity, availability of geological, geophysical and exploration data, access to land, sovereign risk, government policies, AUSTRALIA infrastructure and competitive advantages. ARGENTINA From its inception in 1997, Lake concentrated its early efforts in Pakistan and Sweden. In 2004, the Company wound down exploration in Sweden and shifted its focus to a promising new exploration play in Argentina, whilst continuing exploration in Pakistan. Following encouraging results from the company's first drilling program in Pakistan in late 2005, work in Argentina was placed on hold to concentrate on the company's more advanced copper and gold targets in Pakistan.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960S and 1970S
    Podoces, 2008, 3(1/2): 1–30 Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960s and 1970s DEREK A. SCOTT Castletownbere Post Office, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Email: [email protected] Received 26 July 2008; accepted 14 September 2008 Abstract: The 12-year period from 1967 to 1978 was a period of intense ornithological activity in Iran. The Ornithology Unit in the Department of the Environment carried out numerous surveys throughout the country; several important international ornithological expeditions visited Iran and subsequently published their findings, and a number of resident and visiting bird-watchers kept detailed records of their observations and submitted these to the Ornithology Unit. These activities added greatly to our knowledge of the status and distribution of birds in Iran, and produced many records of birds which had rarely if ever been recorded in Iran before. This paper gives details of all records known to the author of 92 species that were recorded as rarities in Iran during the 12-year period under review. These include 18 species that had not previously been recorded in Iran, a further 67 species that were recorded on fewer than 13 occasions, and seven slightly commoner species for which there were very few records prior to 1967. All records of four distinctive subspecies are also included. The 29 species that were known from Iran prior to 1967 but not recorded during the period under review are listed in an Appendix. Keywords: Rare birds, rarities, 1970s, status, distribution, Iran. INTRODUCTION Eftekhar, E. Kahrom and J. Mansoori, several of whom quickly became keen ornithologists.

Zoological Museum & Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam PO Box 94766, 1090 GT Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS 2. Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, IRAN * Correspondence Author. Email: [email protected] Received 27 March 2009; accepted 7 October 2009 Abstract: Based on original literature reports covering the period 1860 –1969, details of 362 records of 102 bird species considered rare in Iran are presented. This fills a gap in knowledge of Iran’s birds from a period between research by Gmelin and Hablizl in the 1770s (reviewed by Mlikovsky 2008) and an overview of the observations of rare birds in Iran in the 1960s and 1970s (presented by Scott 2008). Attention is drawn to two new species for Iran (Eastern Marsh Harrier Circus spilonotus and Blue Whistling Thrush Myophonus caeruleus ). Published details validate the records of Light-bellied Brent Goose Branta hrota , Upland Buzzard Buteo hemilasius , Great Knot Calidris tenuirostris , and Oriental Cuckoo Cuculus saturatus , formerly considered as of dubious occurrence in Iran. Information on six species (Yellow-breasted Tit Cyanistes cyanus flavipectus , Falcated Duck Anas falcata , Indian Nightjar Caprimulgus asiaticus , Güldenstädt’s Redstart Phoenicurus erythrogaster , Cirl Bunting Emberiza cirlus and Eurasian Nutcracker Nucifraga caryocatactes) was considered insufficient or unreliable and the occurrence of these species in Iran has been rejected. We recommend that these species be omitted from the last revised checklist of the birds of Iran (Scott & Adhami 2006).

  • Iran in Botanical Perspective Mehdi Zarrei
    Iran in Botanical Perspective Mehdi Zarrei Iran, with an area of about 1.65m square kilometers, has some of the most varied and interesting flora in the region. Topographical, climatic and edaphic conditions have made it rich to the extent of more than 7,000 species. There are two main mountain chains: the Alburz range, extending from the northwest to the northeast of Iran, acts as a barrier preventing clouds moving from the Caspian towards the central basin of Iran. The Zagros range, running from the north-west to the south, prevents the eastward movement of clouds coming from the Mediterranean area. This is the reason why the eastern slopes of the Zagros and the southern parts of the Alburz are dryer than the opposing slopes. The Hyrcanian area (the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and the northern slopes of the Alburz Mountains) is the most humid area in Iran, with an annual precipitation of about 2,000 mm in the western parts around Bandar-e Anzali. In contrast, the annual precipitation in the central basins, particularly the Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut deserts, is less than 100 mm; there is sometimes no rain for several years. Most parts of Iran belong to the Holoarctic phytogeographical kingdom, and only the southern regions (north of a line from the Persian Gulf to the Oman Sea) belong to the Paleotropic kingdom. The Hyrcanian area is mainly covered by forests. In the Hyrcanian forest Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Poir.) K.Koch, Celtic australis L. and Zelkova carpinifolia Dippel are endemic Arcto-Tertiary elements.

  • Iran Altitudes and Summits
    Iran Altitudes and Summits Alvand Summit, Hamadan The mountainous region of Alvand embraces the important summits of the province. The Quri chay and Qarah Chay Rivers take their sources in the northern slopes, and the Yujari Chay and Khoram Abad Rivers take their sources in the south western skirts. The most suitable route to the Alvand peak is from the Ganj Nameh route (Hamadan) in Abbas Abad. In the skirts of Alvand Mountains, 'Kallaq Lan', 'Chal Qibleh' and 'Chal Nabaleqan' are equipped with facilities to accommodate visitors. Damavand Summit, Damavand This peak with an attitude of 5,678 m. is located 75 km southeast of Tehran. Besides the natural beauty of Mount Damavand, the Esk and Gol-e- Zard Caves are also placed in the ascending route to Plure. Besides these, other attractive sight-seeing areas of the region are the thermal spring of Larijan, the vicinity of Vararoo with 8 m. of snow in the winter season, and the Lar Lake, are worth mentioning. Dena Mountain, Hafshejan, Shahr-e-Kord The track to the said peak begins at Hafashjan. After crossing Kollak garden and lower and upper Kamar Qarchi gardens, mountain climbers ascend the flat rocks on skirts of this mountain and finally by passing through that, they reach Dena peak. Taftan Summit, Khash The mountainous area and Taftan peak is located in the southeast of Iran, and within a distance of 50 km. southeast of Khash city. This mountain embraces the Taftan volcano and is the tallest mountain of Baluchestan, with several peaks. Its famous volcanic summit known as 'Chehel Tan' lies 380 km.

We analysed 12 months 5 of continuous data from January 2009 through January 2010 recorded at broadband seismic stations. We obtained group velocity of the fundamental mode Rayleigh-wave dispersion curves from empirical Green’s functions between 10 and 50 s periods by multiple-filter analysis and inverted for Rayleigh wave group velocity maps. The final results demonstrate significant agreement with known geological and tec- 10 tonic features. Our tomography maps display low-velocity anomaly with south-western north-eastern trend, comparable with volcanic arc settings of the Makran region, which may be attributable to the geometry of Arabian Plate subducting overriding lithosphere of the Lut block.

  • Factors Affecting the Qajar-Era Fort Settlements in Iran's Sistan Region Due to Hydrographic Changes in the Hirmand River
    Zarei, M, E and others ______________________ Intl. J. Humanities (2016) Vol. 23 (4): (106-132) Factors Affecting the Qajar-Era Fort Settlements in Iran's Sistan Region Due to Hydrographic Changes in the Hirmand River Mohammad Ebrahim Zarei1, Seyyed Rasool Mousavi Haji 2 Naghmeh Behboodi3 Received: 2016/12/26 Accepted: 2017/9/29 Abstract Locating fort settlements in Iran's Sistan region during different historical periods have always been associated with changes in the direction of Hirmand River which often occurred due to various natural and human factors. One of the most important determining factors in locating the aforementioned settlements is changes in hydrographic network. This study aims to identify the relation between the Iranian province of Sistan hydrographic networks and the fort settlement during the Qajar era. The research method applied, here, is descriptive-analytical, historical- comparative, documentary, library and the field study in Iran's Sistan area. The main focus of the study is on the issue of changes in the hydrographic network of the Hirmand River. The main question is to what extent have the changes in the direction of the hydrographic network of Hirmand played a role in locating fort settlements of the Qajar era in Iran's Sistan region. Records, documents, data and historical information related to the Qajar era were collected and comprehensively compared and analyzed regarding the current and the past situations in the geographic information system (GIS) using ArcGIS software. The results show that the highest number of the locating and the density of fort settlements during Qajar are related to the hydrographic basin of the Sistanriver.
