The purpose of this research is to survey such a relation in a different case study (skarn mine) with central Iran. Optical microscopic and scanning electronic microscopic (SEM) studies along with geochemical and statistical analyses (based on the spider diagrams) are employed. The significant amount of uranium, cerium, lanthanum and high a concentration of REEs in results, along with high amount of iron, is one of the reasons why Baghak anomaly is considered very important. Results show the accumulation of cerium in the allanite lattice (as the solid solution).
