Siah-Kamar Mo deposit, the early stage high-temperature and disseminated Mo mineralization formed at ∼ 33–32 Ma (U-Pb zircon and Rb-Sr multimineral geochronology) associated with a micro quartz monzodiorite porphyry, overprinted by a carbonatization stage during the high-grade ore formation at ∼ 29–28 Ma following injection of rhyodacite porphyry dykes.
