Abstract:

 


 The area under study is situated in region, north east of Middle Toros, where faults, thrust faults, fracture zones
are commanly present. Many zinc-lead deposits, small-big occurrences in the form of vein, lode, fault and karst fillings along
the Yahyalı-Demirkazık region, were deposited in the vanious carbonate rocks of Permian-Jurassic age. Ore minerals of the
deposits are sphalerite, galena, smitsonite, anglesite and cerussite. The primary mineral parageneses are composed of pyrite,
chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrhotite, magnetite, molibdenite, bravoite, fahlore (tetraedrite, freibergite), nativ Ag, argentite and
nativ gold ore. While gothite, lepidocrosite, malachite, azurite, covelline, hemimorphite and hidrozincite from the secondary minerals,
the gangue minerals are made up calcite, dolomite, quartz and barite. These minerals assemblage parageneses, indicate
high temperature formations. In addition to this, sphalerite and galene contain Fe, Cu, Mn, Al, Mg, ni, V, W, Co, Cd, Ir,
Ge, Ag, and Au moreover, the content or Sr is 2,13 %, a very high value. All these proofs point out that the orebodies are probably
hydrothermal. According to the plate tectonic model calc alkali magma splits in to two grats due to gravitation before intrusion.
One part of these, calc alkali magma, formed granitoid rocks which along Bolkar mountains and the other areas under
investigation, the other has no significant mineralizations part of magma was rich in metal ions both parts were in placed in the
weak zones of limestones, fractures and faults. Karstification process is continuing even today. The effect of the atmospheric
conditions and underground hot water allows the ore in the area to remobilize, and provides it for sedimentation.
