The rock formations cropping out
in the area have the following stratigraphic sequence: The basement rocks are
commonly serpentinized peridotite of pre-Jurassic age associated with
occasional pyroxenite and dunite. This is overlain by the Küre formation of
pre-Lias/Lias age composed of basaltic volcanics at the lower section and a
thick sedimentary portion at the upper part Next is the Karadana formation of
Upper Dogger-Lower Malm age consisting of reef limestones with interlayers of
sandstone. In addition, gabbro, diorite, dacite, and basaltic dikes intruding
these formations are also observed. Küre volcanics are determined as tholeiitic
basalts based on their petro-chemical properties. These rocks are island-arc
type volcanics produced from the mixture of continental crust and magma originated
from mantle. The pyritic copper deposits are of the Kieslager-type
mineralizations which were determined as Cyprus-type in the earlier studies.
This new and important finding was obtained after a detailed study on the
geotectonic setting host rock types, geochemical properties, and paragenesis of
the ore mineralization.
