Petrochemical Investigation of the Çavdar-Demirtepe (Söke-Aydın) Iron Ore Body

Abstract: Çavdar-Demirtepe iron ore body is situated 26 km. Southheast of Söke-Aydın. It is the most important iron ore body in theMenderes massif.Lithological formations of the basement are para origin in the investigated area. Original sedimentary rocks were sandstones, mudstone,and argillaceous sandstones. Schists and gneisses were formed by metamorphoses of these rock units.In all rock formations mineralizations (disseminated, highly disseminated and massive kinds) were formed under similar conditions.
