The Hasançelebi deposit in eastern Turkey, with proven reserves of 95 million metric tons, is a coppergold−bearing iron oxide deposit. It is chiefly hosted by rocks that underwent widespread sodic-calcic and potassic styles of alteration. In the Hasançelebi district, pervasive Na-Ca and K-Fe alteration types are overprinted by sericitization and by late alteration that occur in multiple, overprinting systems. The age of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization (ca. between 74−68 Ma) overlaps with the age of alkaline magmatism in the Hasançelebi district. Crystallization and cooling of alkaline magmatism is associated with hydrothermal features that spanned the duration of the district’s igneous history. The 40Ar/39Ar and U-Pb geochronology of magmatism indicate that the hydrothermal system was synchronous with diabase and syenite and/or microsyenite porphyry intrusions and consisted of several discrete phases of Na-Ca and K-Fe alteration. The oldest alteration (phase 1) formed at ca 74.4 to 74.3 Ma; it is spatially and temporally associated with the emplacement of diabase dikes and contains scapolite and phlogopite. The next younger alteration (phase 2) formed at about 71.3 Ma and is spatially and temporally associated with syenite porphyry and microsyenite porphyry intrusions. It consists of scapolite , garnet, pyroxene, and actinolite that are superimposed on the first alteration phase. The next alteration assemblage (phase 3) formed at about 68.6 Ma and consists of phlogopite 2 and magnetite mineralization. Still later alteration (phase 4) overprints phases 1, 2, and 3 and consists of sericite-quartz, chalcopyrite, hematite, calcite, fluorite, and barite. Oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δD) isotope analyses were carried out on phlogopite, sericite, barite, calcite, fluorite, and quartz representing the mineral assemblage formed during phases 1 and 4 of the hydrothermal alteration. The calculated δ18O(H2O) and δD(H2O) composition of the fluids that formed preore K-Fe alteration and postore alteration of phase 4 range between 15.1 to 8.5 and −124 to −85.6 per mil, respectively, and partially overlap the range for traditional magmatic waters. Oxygen and H isotope compositions from alteration minerals highlight two major points: Na-Ca and K-Fe alteration assemblages are likely derived from high- temperature primary magmatic fluids, and late sericitization is likely derived from fluids exsolved from cooling alkaline plutons during hydrothermal fracturing and consequent degassing at moderate temperatures. The initial εNdi values of the alteration zones range from −2.02 to −2.08, close to the calculated εNd value of associated syenite porphyry at the time of alteration (εNd (68.64Ma; −1.9). Nd-Sr isotope compositions combined with 40Ar- 39Ar and U-Pb geochronology of the associated alteration suggest that the fluids were sourced from coeval diabase dikes and syenite porphyry and/or microsyenite porphyry intrusions. The rare earth element characteristics, 40Ar-39Ar and U-Pb geochronology of alteration and fresh magmatic rocks, δ18O, δD, Nd, and Sr isotope systematics together suggest that the fluids responsible for the high- to moderate-temperature assemblages are largely derived from the coeval alkaline igneous rocks (diabase and microsyenite porphyry dikes) that intrudes the sedimentary-volcanosedimentary basin.

U-Pb and Ar-40-Ar-39 Geochronology and Isotopic Constraints on the Genesis of Copper-Gold-Bearing Iron Oxide Deposits in the Hasancelebi District, Eastern Turkey

An approach on dilution and ore recovery / loss calculations in minearal reserve estimations at the Cayeli mine, Turkey
Soyer, Nihat; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2006)
Dilution and ore recovery/loss have an important role in calculation of mineral reserves. Each percent increase in dilution and decrease in recovery negatively affects economic value of the reserve. These parameters are mainly controlled by the quality of the mine design and stoping practice. This study provides an approach developed for dilution and recovery/ore loss calculations. The contribution of mine design software (MineSight) and the recent survey technique called Cavity Monitoring System (CMS) were...
Two and three dimensional analysis of a slope failure in a lignite mine
Tutluoğlu, Levend; Karpuz, Celal (2011-02-01)
With about 9.3 billion tons of reserve, lignite is a major source for energy production in Turkey. The Afsin-Elbistan lignite basin, containing 47% of the overall lignite reserve in Turkey, lies in the Afsin and Elbistan districts as a part of Kahramanmaras. The new Collolar opencast mine is in the Afsin-Elbistan lignite basin, and this mine will be the second mining activity in the basin after the active Kislakoy opencast mine. The new mine will meet the coal consumption of the Elbistan B power plant. Inpu...
Analysis of groundwater dynamics in the complex aquifer system of Kazan Trona, Turkey, using environmental tracers and noble gases
ARSLAN, Sebnem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Stute, Martin; Schlosser, Peter; Smethie, William M. (2015-02-01)
The Eocene deposits of Kazan Basin in Turkey contain a rare trona mineral which is planned to be extracted by solution mining. The complex flow dynamics and mixing mechanisms as noted from previous hydraulic and hydrochemical data need to be augmented with environmental tracer and noble gas data to develop a conceptual model of the system for the assessment of the impacts of the mining and to develop sustainable groundwater management policies throughout the area. The tracers used include the stable isotope...
Water Resources Development
Altınbilek, Doğan H.; Hatipoglu, Murat Ali (2020-01-01)
The annual technical and economical exploitable water potential of Turkey is calculated as 112 billion m(3) and 18 billion m(3) of this amount belongs to groundwater. Annual freshwater consumption is about 54 billion m(3), of which 74% is used for agriculture, 13% for domestic uses, and 13% for industrial uses. This sum corresponds to the development of only 48.2% of the available exploitable potential. Turkey has made great efforts to develop water resources for irrigation, power generation, flood control,...
