Overview

Randomized trial investigates manganese mineralization characteristics in Central Anatolia, indicating specific enrichment zones.

Key Points

  • This study aims to analyze the geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of manganese mineralization in the Kulu area of Central Anatolia.
  • Investigated manganese occurrences using field observations and ore microscopy.
  • Conducted XRD, SEM–EDS, and major oxide and trace element geochemistry analyses.
  • Applied Spearman correlation, PCA, HCA, and factor analysis to spatial data.
  • Manganese enrichment is concentrated in specific zones, with a clear opposition between MnO and SiO2.
  • MnO levels tend to increase alongside Cu, Ba, V, Ga, and Sr.
  • Mineralization is mainly represented by manganese oxide/oxyhydroxide assemblages of manganite and pyrolusite.
