Original study of lead- zinc deposits in üzümcü – olgunlar regions (Hakkari- Çukurca)

The study area is located within the Taurus belt, which is located in the Alpine-Himalayan Mountain Belt and is one of the main tectonic units that form Anatolia. Pb-Zn mineralizations located within the tauride belt, from west to east; There are eight different provinces: (1) Hadim-Bozkır, (2) Göktepe, (3) Gazipaşa, (4) Anamur, (5) Horzum and Pınargözü, (6) Aladağlar-Zamantı, (7) Tufanbeyli and (8) Hakkari province. are examined by region. Pb-Zn deposits in these regions have MVT, CRD and SEDEX type ore formation characteristics. The area within the study area generally bears traces of large-scale deformations and high-grade metamorphism during the Alpine Orogeny process. Metallic and non-metallic deposits observed in the study area are distributed in various rocks and over wide areas in the inner parts of the Eastern Taurus fold belt in the southeast of Anatolia. The mineralization style and geochemical data of Zn-Pb deposits in the Hakkari region are similar to SEDEX type deposits in terms of slightly higher homogenization temperature and lower salinity than MVT, parallel stratiform ore zones and high as contents. In addition, the general feature of most of these deposits is the observation of oxidation and transformation into sulphide-free zinc deposits. The deposits in Hakkari province, which is also located in the study area, are mostly in situ oxidation type mineralizations.
