“…Both are contact hydrothermal deposits. On the basis of direct observations and of the previous work [15,18,21,22], the mineralization occurs both as a skarn-type in the contact area between limestone and the volcanic dacite, and as an epithermal carbonate-replacement type (as disseminatedand veinlets-types, in fractures of the limestone, and in dacite). Although the carbonate-replacement deposits typically occur as irregular, disseminated, and discontinuous pots and lenses, there is, commonly, an overall structural, and lithological, control.…”

Mineral resource evaluation requires defining geological rock-type domains. The traditional simulation methods have serious limitations for applications to large numbers of domains, which have complex contact relations. Plurigaussian simulation is an effective method which can be applied, in a simple way, to any number of domains, using both local and global geological information to infer the distributions of rock types. This work not only presents the application of the plurigaussian simulation method to the Balya lead-zinc deposit, but also assesses the spatially varying rock type proportions, and accounts for uncertainties between them. These parameters are extremely important for mining deposits, since the mineralizations of interest generally occur only in certain rock types. Furthermore, being able to model the different geological rock types is vital to good mine operations, production planning, and management. The results indicate that the plurigaussian method correctly reproduces the different orientations of the individual rock types, as seen in drill holes, and the proportion of each rock type, even if this varies in space.

“…The presence of some liquid-rich and vapour-rich inclusions from the same generation of fluid is interpreted as evidence of boiling [22]. This feature is commonly observed in many volcanic rocks-hosted hydrothermal Pb-Zn and Fe-Mn deposits in western Turkey [1,11,40]. At Tumanpınarı, some Type I inclusions have high homogenization temperatures, low salinity values, and highly variable vapor/liquid ratio.…”

“…In the figure, the high-salinity and high-temperature values of the inclusions belonging to the porphyry copper deposits are plotted in the upper right corner of diagram. This type of deposits point to either a fluid of probable magmatic origin circulated in the porphyry system or the mixing of magmatic and meteoric fluids [1,37,38]. In general, the relatively high-salinity (about 20 eq.…”

Abstract:The Tumanpınarı mineralization is a volcanic rock-hosted epithermal Fe-Mn-Ba deposit located in the southwestern part of Dursunbey, Balıkesir, Turkey. The deposit constitutes one of the most important deposits of the Havran-Dursunbey metallogenic sub-province in which numerous Early Miocene Fe-Mn-Ba deposits are distributed. The ore occurs as open-space fillings in faults, fractures, and breccias in the andesite. Early hydrothermal activity was responsible for four types of hypogene alteration in decreasing intensity: silicification, sericitization, hematization and argillic alteration. The mineral assemblage includes pyrolusite, psilomelane, hematite, and barite as well as minor magnetite, manganite, poliannite, limonite, braunite, bixbyite, galena, pyrite, and goethite. Mineralogically, three ore types are recognized as pyrolusite + psilomelane + hematite + barite ore, pyrolusite + psilomelane + poliannite ore and barite + pyrolusite + psilomelane + hematite ore (barite-dominant ore). In addition to Fe, Mn and Ba, the ore contains substantial quantities of Pb, Zn, As. Chemically, the transition from fresh to altered rocks has little effect on the elemental levels for Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, K, Rb, Sr and H 2 O. The homogenization temperature of fluid inclusions hosted in the main stage quartz and barite ranged from 113 to 410 • C with salinities ranging from 0.4 to 14.9 eq. wt % NaCl, respectively. Overall, the available data suggest that the deposits formed as the result of the interaction of two aqueous fluids: a higher-salinity fluid (probably magmatic) and a dilute meteoric fluid.
