TI  - Microthermometric characteristics of ore forming solutions in Şaphane (Oğuzlar-Çorum) Au mineralization, Turkey
AB  - The study area is located in the Çorum province in the North-Central part of Turkey. In the Çorum region various continental blocks are found together. Devecidağ Complex, Artova Ophiolite Complex, Alacahöyük, Bayat, Kızılırmak, Dodurga and Bozkır formations and Dededağ granitoid and quartz veins are exposed in the vicinity of the study area. Extremely altered volcanic rocks, andesite-basalt-trachyte and tuffs, are observed near the mineralization. The silica veins associated with the mineralization crop out in NE-SW direction southeast of Şaphane village. Pyrite, hematite, limonite, chalcopyrite, galena and gold are the major ore minerals within the quartz veins. Fluid inclusion studies show that hydrothermal solutions contain several salts such as NaCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2, the salinity values (wt.% NaCl) changed between 8% and 0.5% in quartz, from 7.4 and 1.4% in calcite, and the temperature of the ore forming solutions varied between 161 and 395°C. Microthermometric results indicate that the mineralization in the region is associated with quartz veins and formed under epithermal-mesothermal conditions.
