Mineralogy and potential characteristic of chromite of hamidiye/gaziantep

The chromite mineralization being studied is located in the unit that is assessed as the "Lower Cretaceous Induced Iterite Water Table" in the N37c3 section of the Ilahiye area. In tectonites consisting of dunite and harzburgites, a massive nodular structure with a thin layer and a disseminated layer is present. Rock and chromite samples obtained from multiple drill data were analyzed by the ICP-MS method for Pt, Pd, Rh and Au. According to the results of the chemical analysis, the %Cr2O3 is between 42.03-52.1 and the Cr/Fe ratio is between 3.79-4.21. The PGE contents, the Ru ratio is from 90 to 130 ppb, the Ir ratio from 24 to 40 ppb, the bone ratio from 13 to 50 ppb and Rh from 6 to 11 ppb. Mineralization in the study area has been found to have a value between the plutonic chromites and the podiform chromites of NATO and has been found to be closer to the podiform chromite region of Manto. The probable reserve of 10 350 tonnes was calculated based on drilling data at the determined coordinates.
