Özet: Gümüşler Sb mineralization represents two different types of structurally controlled mineralization within the Niğde metamorphics. The first type of mineralization is in quartz bands parallel to the schistosity surface of metamorphics. The second type of mineralization is located in the brecciated zone within the fault planes. The main gangue mineral of both ore types is quartz and barite is also present. The main mineral of antimony ore is stibnite and it has been transformed into secondary antimony oxide minerals as a result of alteration in supergene environments. The mineralization between the schistosity surfaces coexists with milk quartz. The ores as a result of the heating of surface waters due to intrusion. There are native gold grains in quartz crystals. In the binary diagrams of the geochemical analysis results, there is a negative correlation between Sb-Cu, Sb-Zn and Sb-Mo element pairs and a positive correlation between Sb-As, Sb-Pb and Sb-Ba. This relationship between elements was also found in the correlation matrix.
