Abstract
Recent field research and laboratory examinations discovered a new sulphide occurrence near Tunca village, northeast Turkey. Examinations have demonstrated that the ore consists of two stages of sulphide assemblages such as: (1) the primary volcanic-sedimentary ore consisting of pyrite, chalco-pyrite, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, bornite and galena in the host rhyolite pyroclastics with the lack of the replacement structures; and (2) the subsequently deposited hydrothermal assemblage consisting of the same sulphide minerals and occurring in form of veinlets and metasomatic replacements in the host rock and the primary ore, forming in this way the stockwork type.
