The Neogene volcanics represented
by andesites, andestitic tuffs and trachy-andesites in the northeast of Ankara
contain hydrothermally altered clay mineralization in places. In the alteration
zones developed in the areas where the hydrothermal fluids leaking along faults
and joints alter volcanic rocks, silicifications and iron oxides and sulfides
are observed next to the clays minerals. As a result of alteration starting
from the unaltered rocks, different zones poor in clay and silicified have been
developed. In this aspect various petrographic types have been distinguished in
the from of unaltered volcanic rocks, volcanic rocks poor in alteration, highly
altered volcanic rock and silicified rocks. In addition, gold has been found in
the samples around Gicik. The clay minerals formed as a result of hydrothermal
alteration of the Neogene volcanics have been determined as kaolinite,
montmorillonite and illite, the silicate minerals as quartz and cristobalite,
and ferrous compounds as pyrite, very little calcopyrite, hematite,
lepidoclorite and goethite. Kaolinization has generally been obsered around the
Gicik village and llgaz hill, smecticization around the Kurtsivrisi village,
and illitization in both regions. Their zonation has been developed in the form
of kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite from the inner zone which is nearest
the fault, montmorillonite and illite have been formed in the more outer zone.
In the fluid inclusion studies carried out, the homogenization heat of quarts
has been found to be between 170 °C and 140 °C. This datum shows that the clay
mineralization due to alteration within the volcanic rocks has been realized
under epithermal conditions. However, the presence of gold in the environment
makes us think that the hydrothermal solitions coming from the magma have also
been effective in the alteration in addition to the main factor, the meteoric
waters.
