Özet

The Kuscayiri An (Cu) deposit is localized along EW-trending linear silica-quartz structures or pods within altered Lower Miocene volcanics that are underlain by medium to high level Mesozoic granodiorite intrusions. The deposit is characterized by disseminated or fracture-controlled pyrite (up to 12%), variable amounts of silicification, hematite-pyrite matrix breccias produced by intense fracturing of siliceous rocks and moderate to weak saccharoidal to crystalline quartz stringer stockwork veining in small breccia pipes.
