The Kohistan Island Arc (KIA), developed on account of northward subduction of the Neo-Tethys lithosphere under the Asian plate, is situated in northwest Himalaya, Pakistan (Fig. 1).The Cretaceous–Paleogene KIA is detached by two major suture zones, by the Main Karakoram Thrust in the north from the Asian plate, and by …

The Cu-Sb-Pb polymetallic vein deposit is hosted by metavolcanics rocks of the Gawuch Formation at the Kaldom Gol area of the northwest Kohistan arc terrain in northern Pakistan. The mineralization is closely associated with the dioritic to granodioritic rocks of the Lowari pluton, which was intruded into the Gawuch metavolcanics.

The chromite displays high Cr No. (75–67) and low Fe 3+ /R 3+ (<10). These data, especially the chromite analyses, are akin to those of ultramafic rocks of island arcs, including the Jijal complex, 80 km to the west. We propose that the Sapat complex formed the basal part of the Kohistan terrain and is related to arc magmatism.
