The study area is Zarshuran exploration area, located 5 km north to east north of Zarshuran village and 25 km north of Takabtownat the border between Urumieh-Dokhtar volcanic belt and Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. The stratigraphic units at Zarshuran are Iman Khan metamorphic rocks, Chaldagh limestone, the Zarshuran black shale (with carbonate intercalations) and the Qaredash sandstone that they are Precambrian formations. A Carlin-like gold mineralization is hosted in the Zarshuran and Chaldagh units. Hydrothermal alterations at Zarshuran are Silisica, Allunit and Argillic. Silisica alteration zone, due to its extent, is the most important alteration at Zarshuran deposit. The correct decision could have a significant effect on exploration projects. The main object of this study is combination of new methods and integrationof various data exploration in a GIS enivironment to identify areas of high mineral potential for further drilling.Theinputdata layers for GIS integration are composed of lithologicmaps,alteration, geophysical and geochemical layers plus faulting related lineaments. After evaluation of all geological units associated with gold mineralization, they converted into the appropriate format to be used in the final integrated model.In order to optimize the use of structure layers in the integrated model, the radius and density layers of the fault were prepared.After the initial processing of geochemical data, using statistical calculations, the corresponding histogram of different elements were prepared.Combined multi-element geochemical maps were produced using multivariate, partial correlation and factor analysis. A magnetic survey carried out in the study are and the total magnetic field intensity were measured. The total magnetic field intensity were measured at 800 stations, operations on the lines along the NE-SW and 50 meters distance profiles.Because of the lack of access to the original magnetic data, the already prepared analytical signal maps were used for data integration model. Two new combination methods of Fuzzy Logic and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used in this research to create final mineral potential map for further drilling at the Zarshuran area. The result showed that these two methods support and complete each other, butAHPproved to be the best method for combining the exploration data. Comparing the final integrated potential maps with thefieldevidences,mineralized location and also analytical results of 4 boreholesconfirm the importance of AHP in this regards.
