Chargar (Persian: چرگر; also known as Charkar)[1] is a village in Sain Qaleh Rural District, in the Central District of Abhar County, Zanjan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 853, in 238 families.[2] Chargar is the site of epithermal metal ore deposits, which consist primarily of chalcopyrite and gold.[3] The main gangue minerals are quartz, barite, and calcite.[3] The ores are embedded in Eocene volcanic rocks which are classified as andesitic tuff and associated with the Karaj Formation.[3] The Chargar deposit has similarities to the Khalifehlu and Aliabad-Khanchay deposits.[3]
