Büyük Kızılcık Village Mine Field,
Certificate of Approval Serial No : AR.200667375, AR.20064121 (contiguous field belonging to Afşin)
Certificate of Approval Area  : 168,38 hectares

The certificate for exploration is taken and work on this subject is held in the field in 2007. At first, 2,5 km of road construction was done and with cleavages ore deposits were opened. In the east, near to Türksevim village, there have been leaded deposits detected. Lead in one of the deposits is highly massive and sulphated. Drilling place is ready. In 2008 April, the drillings and exploration galleries will start.
According to thinning that could be viewed on surface, the length of the ore deposit is 1,3 km. It is continuous due to a great fault that was formed in metamorphic schists at the lower levels of marbled calcareous levels of the Taurus Mountain system. It is a field with potential reserve.
Although it is high in lead value in eastern deposits, it is seen that the deposits intersecting in the west have copper and zinc.
