Geology
Dededağı property is covered by the Neogene andesites at the north and granites at the south. Between these two rock groups the schists of the basement rocks and dasite and rhyolite daykes related to the Neogene volcanic activity are seen. The dykes and granites usually oriented along the NE-SW direction.
Ore Mineralisation
The property is almost at the center of the known gold deposits. Ağı Dağı (another peak, 898m) gold deposit is just at 16 km east, the Halilağa porphry Cu-Au deposit (Güvemtaşı peak, 598m) is just 5-10 km northeast, the Evciler gold occurrence is at 4-5 km South and the Kısacık Au deposit is 25 km southwest. The property is geologically suitable for Au and metal deposits. The Neogene dasite and rhyolite dykes and domes have been mapped during the prospecting. Silisification and iron-oxide alteration is locally pervasive. Presence of the slags in the property area is also another feature for the urgent need for ore explorations.
