Özet

In antimony deposit in NW Camardi-Nigde (Turkey), antimony produced by underground mining in the 1970s. 3 galleries are connected to each other and 2 galleries are independent. According to the geochemical and mineralogical-petrographical investigations, stibnite mineralization in the vein rocks may be about 70-80 wt %. In geochemical analysis of ore and hosted rocks from both inside and outside of the gallery, correlations between Sb and Au, Ag, As, Ba, Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, S and Zn were investigated. In the correlation values, 50% and upper meaningful relationships have been taken into account. Accordingly, 7 positive relationships between the elements were determined and no meaningful negative correlation could be detected. Positive correlations are Zn-Cd: 0,84; Pb-Ag: 0,71; Pb-Cd: 0,65; Zn-Pb: 0,56; Fe-As: 0,54; Sb-S: 0,50 and Ag-Cd: 0,50.
