Geochemical Prospecting for Carbonate-Bearing Lead-Zinc Deposits in the Western Zamanti (Aladağlar-Yahyalı) Region
Characteristic sampling methods and dispersion types formed by secondary processes (karstification) have been determined for the exploration of burried carbonate-bearing lead-zinc deposits in the Aladağ Region by studying such minor elements as Cu, Pb and Zn. The most favorable geochemical prospection method in this area is determined to be soil surveying of the overburden, tectonically crushed zones and rock talus fans. The widespread secondary dispersions are created by chemical and mechanical accumulations. The dispersions cover rather wide areas, due to the soil formation, effects of surface-and undergroundwaters and glacial movements. A study of anomalies of Pb and Zn elements deposited by chemical means is the best way for the prospecting of burried ore deposits.
