Abstract:

 


This study was carried out in the Attepe (Yahyalı) iron mineralization zone of Kayseri province. The main mineralization zone is 500 m long and lies approximately in the NNW/SSE direction. The study covers the geothermometric analyses which were carried out on the fluid inclusions of siderite, quartz, and barites in relation within the iron mineralization. In this study, samples were taken from five different rock groups observed in the field and were evaluated as a, b, c, d, e. Four different fluid inclusion types were determined in the siderite, quartz, and barites of these rock groups (type I, type II, type III and type IV fluid inclusions). As a result of these studies three different formation processes were determined within the ore mineralization zone, namely (1) early stage, (2) late stage and (3) final late stage. Homogenization temperatures were 300-350°C in the early stage, 180-270°C in the late stage and 170-250°C in the final late stage. Early stage first group quartzes have in average 43 % NaCI in the early stage, the late stage quartzes of the first group on average have 35 % NaCI and the final stage barites have 3 % NaCI equivalent salinity. According to the macro observations in the mineralization area and the homogenization temperature measurements made in laboratory whatever the origin of the fluids, the deposits were formed in the hydrothermal stage conditions and hypothermal, mesothermal and epithermal stages were active in these hydrothermal stages.
