Geological structures play a significant role in the emplacement of intrusive bodies, directing hydrothermal fluids, and forming mineral deposits. In this study, the relationship between geological lineaments and hydrothermal alterations with the location of copper deposits in the northern part of the Kerman copper belt has been determined using Fry analysis method, photo lineament factor, and rose diagrams. The intrusion of Miocene-aged bodies in the volcanic rocks of the study area is one of the main factors of extensive hydrothermal alteration and subsequent mineralization. First, the lineaments in the area were extracted by using satellite images (Landsat 9 and Sentinel 2), digital elevation models, and geological maps. Hydrothermal alteration of the region was also enhanced using SAM method on the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images. Spatial distribution of the deposits in the region was analyzed by Fry analysis. This investigation revealed that the dominant trend of deposits in the region is northwest-southeast. The map of the photolineament factor (PF) of the faults showed that the average to higher values of PF are in good agreement with the known mineral deposits of the region. Rose diagrams also identified two dominant trends for the faults in the region. The comparison of the results obtained from Fry analysis of the deposits and the rose diagrams of the faults demonstrated similar orientation for main faults and well-known deposits as northwest-southeast strike in the study area.
