Abstract
The focus of this study is the prospecting of iron and manganese in the Balvard 1:100,000 Sheet, situated in the Sanandaj - Sirjan
Structural Zone, utilizing Index Overlay and Fuzzy Logic methods in the GIS. In this study, the layers for integration, alterations,
geological, geophysical, geochemical and structural data are based on stream sediments, airborne magnetometric and remote sensing
studies. Based on the results obtained by these methods, Fe and Mn prospects exist in both the Northern and Northeastern parts of the
area. The prospect areas derived via the Fuzzy Logic method are larger than those derived from the Index Overlay method because
the method used a range value from 0 to 1.
