Özet
Madenkoy village of Nigde Province is located in eastern edge of the Central Taurus Belt. The region is geologically in an area where the Anatolide-Tauride Belt and the Kirsehir Massif are adjoined to each other. Paleozoic-Cenozoic aged rocks which are different in origin and types outcropped in this area. The characteristic feature which makes the area geologically significant is a karstic cave system developed in the Triassic-Jurassic aged carbonates and placer gold deposits which are present within these karstic caves. The subsurface plaser gold deposit is the only known instance in Turkey and is also a rare situation in the world.
