The Re-Os isotopic system is applied for the first time to the sulfide ores and the overlying 20 black-shales at the Küre volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit of the Central Pontides, 21Northern Turkey. The ore samples collected include predominantly pyrite, accompanied by 22 chalcopyrite, sphalerite and other species. Massive ore is almost free of gangues, whereas the 23 stockwork ore includes quartz and calcite gangue. The composition of sphalerite is similar to 24 ancient and modern massive sulfide mineralizations globally. Microthermometric studies 25

Contemporaneous east–west extension and north–south compression at 43 Ma in the Himalayan orogen

“…In fact, Re-Os isochron ages with large MSWD (4-17) for pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite have been previously reported (e.g. Lawley et al, 2013;Akbulut et al, 2016).…”

Formation and tectonic evolution of structural slices in eastern Kargı Massif

“…For this reason, more detailed mapping studies should be done and associated with these regions. In addition, there are Cyprus type and Besshi type massive sulphide mineralizations associated with mafic tholeiitic volcanism, metavolcaniclastics and metaclastics also there are arc-back arc geochemical signatures in the Central Pontides (Çakır, 1995;Altun et al, 2015;Çimen et al, 2016;Akbulut et al, 2016;Günay et al, 2018Günay et al, , 2019Yalçın, 2018).…”

“…The Küre volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Cu deposit (Kastamonu), established in the Central Pontides is held in the Cyprus type (Ustaömer and Robertson, 1994;Çakır, 1995;Altun et al, 2015;Akbulut et al, 2016) or Besshi type (Koç et al, 1995). Another VMS deposit is located 54 km north of the study area was observed within the metamorphic rocks in Çangaldağ complex (Dönmez et al, 2013;Günay et al, 2018).…”
