The objective of the study is to investigate the geochemical properties and suitability as an industrial raw material of \cCakraz district dolomite occurrences NW Anatolia. Most of the former studies on the area deals with field geology and ignores industrial mineral potential. Lias (Jurassic) HimmetpaЕџa Formation formed the basement of the region and was overlaid by the Barremian (Cretaceous) Zonguldak Formation with unconformity. Aptian (Cretaceous) Kilimli Formation covered the Zonguldak Formation. A field stu...

The focus of the study is to investigate the some precious elements of the metallic occurrences which are related to sulphure mineralizations in Korudere Pb-Zn ore deposit in Biga Peninsula. The peninsula contains a very rich zone in terms of metallic ores and industrial minerals. The observations and studies of former researchers on the peninsula revealed that distribution of both ore bearing deposits and Tertiary volcanic / intrusive units exhibited great similarity. Barite accompanies the lead-zinc mineralizati...

The focus of the study is to examine the precious elements of the metallic occurrences which are related to sulphure mineralizations in Yenice-Arapucandere Pb-Zn ore deposit (Canakkale). The ore bearing deposits in northwestern Anatolia show a great deal of similarity to the distribution of the Tertiary – Quaternary volcanic and intrusive rocks in the region. In addition various kind of metallic ore deposits form as a zonation. Arapu\ccandere hydrothermal polimetallic ore deposits are richness of those complicat...

The focus of the study is to examine the Gallium, Germanium, Cadmium, Gold, Silver, Indium, Selenium, Thallium, Rhenium and Tellurium elements of the metallic occurrences which are related to sulphure mineralizations (galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite) in KalkД±m Region lead-zinc ore deposits, Yenice (Canakkale). KalkД±m hydrothermal polimetallic ore deposits (BaДџД±rka\ccdere, Handeresi, ArД±lД±dere and FД±rД±ncД±kdere occurrances) were existed in schist of Karakaya Complex under the effect of Eybek Gra...

This study focuses on the geochemical and mineralogical compounds of clay occurrences that had been interbedded low rank coals in Biga Peninsula, Turkey. The usages of these clay formations were also studied. Clay occurrences were formed and alternated along with Tertiary lignite seams in the peninsula where is one of the basic metallic and industrial mineral potential regions in Turkey. Chemical and mineralogical analyses were performed on thirteen clay samples from different lignite beds. The XRD analyses show t...

A summary of abundance, quality and usage areas of the known bentonite occurrences in Turkey has been explained for this study. Bentonite that is one of the most important and abundant clays of Turkey has lower cost in comparison to other raw materials. Turkey has significant resources of bentonite that have been reported approximately 370 million tons base reserve. Also Turkey is one of the leading producers with 950 000 tons per year. Lower cost of bentonite in comparison to other raw materials for various usage...
