Geographical Location:
The project is located within the boundaries of Bozcaarmut District, which is a part of Pazaryeri District in the province of Bilecik.
While the bird's eye view of Bilecik is situated 25km southwest, the bird's eye view of Pazaryeri is 6.5km southwest.
The working area is 994.95 hectares in size, consisting of a single license and is located in the H23c4 and I23b1 map sheets. The license number is 202001342.
Geology:
The stratigraphic relationships of the rock units in the working area, from older to younger, are as follows: Paleozoic-aged Sorgundere Metamorphics, Schist Marble of the lower to middle Triassic age, and Plio-Quaternary-aged Alluvium.
Sorgundere Metamorphics: These are metamorphic rocks observed within the study area and are named Sorgundere Metamorphics by Genç and others (1986). These rocks are developed in the Barrovian type green schist facies, presenting a wide distribution at a regional scale. They consist of metamorphic rocks showing occasional tectonic relationships with serpentinites, including quartz-muscovite schist, quartz-epidote-glaucofane schist, chlorite-epidote schist, amphibole schist, albite-epidote-amphibole schist, garnet schist, quartzite, schist marble, and basic schists, displaying lateral and vertical spreading.
Schist and Marble: These are of grayish-green, brown color, mainly composed of quartz-chlorite-muscovite schists, basic schists, and coarse foliated schists. Marbles and recrystallized limestones appear in white, light gray, and bluish colors, often appearing in lenses and bands within a wide distribution of schists.
Karadede Formation: These rocks, settled with tectonic overlay on the metamorphic basement rocks, consist of well-stacked shallow marine lithologies including conglomerates, sandstones, mudstones, and limestones. These are of gray, brown, green, red, and yellow colors. They are transitioned from conglomerates at the base to sandstones and mudstones, showing occasional carbonate interlayered spilites on the mudstones. Structural features such as faults, fractures, and deformation after the settlement of quartz veins in the vicinity are observed. These rocks have been overlain by the metamorphic rocks due to a low-angle thrust fault.
It is believed that an orogenic type of mineralization exists in the region.
Our activities in this license area are currently in the exploration and reserve development phase.
