Khatunabad area is situated geologically in Urmieh
Dokhtar magmatic belt in NW of Iran. In this research, studied area
has been investigated in order to recognize the potential copper and
molybdenumbearing target areas. The survey layers include the
lithologic units, alteration, geochemical result, tectonics and copper
and molybdenum occurrence. As an accurate decision can have a
considerable effect on exploration plans, so in this efforts have been
made to make use of new combination method. For this purpose, the
analytical hierarchy process was used and revealed highly potential
copper and molybdenum mineralization areas. Based on achieved
results, geological perspective in north of studied area is appropriate
for advance stage, especially for subsurface exploration in future.
