“…Barite, lead, and zinc deposits, which are above the mining limit, are generally located in the Alanya and Gazipaşa districts in the east of Antalya. The region has barite deposits containing BaSO4 with almost 95-100% purity (Kursun & Yalcin, 2020).…”

Antalya province, the study area, is located in the south of Türkiye, and it is one of the regions where flood disasters frequently occur, particularly due to excessive precipitation in the autumn and winter months. Therefore, it is extremely important to carry out the necessary engineering studies. Deluges and floods damage buildings, agricultural and residential areas, human life, and social and economic activities in the vicinity according to their flow rate. The study aims to evaluate the general geological structure of the region considering the reclamation of Ulupinar Stream in the Kemer district of Antalya, to determine a rock pit where resistant and impermeable rock material can be obtained to use in the construction of the masonry stone wall during the reclamation work, and also offer a reference study for future studies. The geological structure of the region was interpreted by using the general geological maps and studies conducted in the study area. The general geological map of the study area was edited and a generalized stratigraphic section was generated using geographical information system (GIS) methods and software. According to the results of the assessment of the studies and geological data on the flood control of Ulupinar Stream, which is one of the regions posing flood risk, the region was found to be a susceptible environment for flood considering the determining criteria such as the location of the basin and the average rainfall, and the reclamation of the stream has been suggested as part of the flood prevention plan. A rock pit where rock material can be obtained for constructing the masonry stone wall has been found 11 km from the region. The material in the rock pit is at a shallow depth and suitable for mining. All scientific studies related to the rock material and the rock pit determined in the study should be carried out before using the rock.

“…During laterization, lateritic material, which was transported as a result of transgressive movements by superficial events (mechanical mobility), moved to Beydaglari formation, which consists of the Upper Cretaceous limestones. This movement occurs through Elmali formation, which covers the vast majority of the study area and consists of the Upper Lutetian-Lower Burdigalian sandstone, claystone, siltstone, and limestone [88]- [91]. As a result of these movements, the SiO2 content in its chemical composition decreased, and it formed ferritic bauxite.…”

Purpose.The purpose is to determine geological and geochemical characteristics of the Sutlegen (Antalya, Turkey) bauxites, to identify the elements that played a major role in their formation. Methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) mineral phase analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elemental analysis, plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), the petrographic and mineralogical analyses, and multivariate statistical methods were used. Findings. The major element content of the ore was determined as Al2O3 (60-35.2 wt%), SiO2 (39.5-0.2 wt%), Fe2O3 (48.4-19.5 wt%), TiO2 (36.9-16 wt%), and P2O5 (0.5-0.1 wt%). The Sutlegen region, which shows epirogenetic action with the uplift of the earth's crust, is generally rich in neritic carbonates. It was revealed that the bauxite ores have undergone moderate and strong laterization as a result of the deferruginization in the environment, and they were classified into four groups as lateritic, ferritic, kaolinitic, and bauxite. The increase in the aluminosilicate minerals, which were formed during the formation of bauxite in the environment was found to be directly proportional to the laterization processes. In this context, it was considered that the lateritic material that was firstly formed in the environment filled the cavities and pores of the karst-type limestones and sedimentary units in the region by superficial transfer phenomena. The bivariate diagrams of Log Cr vs. Log Ni revealed that the bauxite that formed in the region had an ultrabasic source. Originality. In literature, no scientific studies have been found on bauxite mineralization in the Sutlegen deposits that have been operated for a long period. Practical implications. In this context, the geochemical characteristics of bauxites revealed that the source of the laterization process in the region was the ultrabasic igneous rocks. The lateritic material moved by superficial transfer was accumulated on sandstone, claystone, siltstone, and limestone and in karstic cavities; then, it formed karstic bauxite (kaolinitic and bauxite) of different classifications due to the effect of metamorphism.

“…It is also a component of pesticides for extermination of rodents and insects. Barite is used in glass production, pyrotechnics (manufacture of signal rockets, detonators) and construction (in protective coatings and plasters against X-rays and radioactive radiation) [5]. There are currently six barite deposits in Slovakia, while only one is mined.…”

Purpose. There are several deposits of critical raw materials in the Slovak Republic, but currently only one is mined. This is a barite deposit in Spiš, which shows an ever-lower volume of exploited raw material year-on-year. However, this area is rich in several confirmed barite veins, which represent potential strategic raw materials. The presented article analyzes in detail and describes the Jaklovce I. deposit, which is located in the Gelnica district in north-east of Slovakia. Despite the fact that Slovakia, as well as most EU countries, is dependent on imports of raw materials, the new deposits represent new potential. Determination of the economic value of these deposits creates a promising potential for the investor, but also, secondarily, a potential for the socio-economic development of regions, as well as for the state. Methods. Based on the evaluation of dynamic economic variables, the article predicts the benefits which mining in this deposit would bring, which are also supported by SWOT analysis of barite exploitation. Findings. According to the methods used during the financial evaluation of the single mined deposit of CRM in Slovakia, which was developed because of CRM criticality in EU, we showed, based on § 14 of the Mining Act no. 44/1988 Coll. the necessity of CRM mining from the view of regions, the state and investors. The present article summarizes impacts of exploiting the barite from Jaklovce I. deposit for the investor, as well as for the state, which is also underlined through SWOT analysis. Originality. This study attempts to point out that mining critical raw materials is economically suitable not only for the state, but also for investors. SWOT analysis also pinpoints most threats, opportunities and some forecasts which should be taken into account while designing the investment project. Practical implications.I nvestment project in mining area is one of the most critical and challenging decisions that experts have to make mainly based on geological, economical and geotechnical properties of the deposit, which are very specific. The same is true for the investment project which represents huge investments and rate of risk
