ABSTRACT: Geochemical analyses of iron deposits in the Divriği region ha.ve been performed on 160 samples for 10 major and. 31 trace elements, and correlation analyses between 24 elements and the Interpretation of these results are given, Two types of ores werq indicated.: The first type has a geochemical affinity to ultrabasic rocks with high, average element contens of Cr,, Co and in some cases Ni and MgO. The second type of ore is a sedimentary type with a different geochemical character., e.g. high Ba. content, The tectonically emplaced iron ores showing ultrabasic element affinity are suggested to be tectonically reworked from ophiolite hosted basic to- ultrabasic rocks.
