Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) Deposits of Turkey

Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits of Turkey occur in three tectonically distinct regions: (I) Kuroko-type deposits in the eastern Pontides Tectonic belt (EPTB); (II) Cyprus-type VMS deposits occur both in Kure area (Kastamonu) and along the Bitlis-Zagros Suture Zone (BZSZ), and (III) Besshi-type VMS deposits in the Hanonu–Taskopru area (Kastamonu).
