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. According to these results, Zn and Cd elements have the most powerful and Ag and Cd elements have the lowest significant positive correlation. There are numerous ore outcrops and quarries containing sphalerite (ZnS) and Galena (PbS) located in the area. Only Pb/Zn ores produced in these fields and Cd and Ag have been ignored. Cd and Ag potential in the area can be exposure by detailed geological explorations.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessantimonystatistical relationshipssphaleritegalenaNigdeConference Object505511WOS:000395499700066N/A
