Magnetite is a common mineral in paragenesis in many mineral deposits,
and it is recognized that it covers the conditions of the environment in
which it is formed due to its physico-chemical properties. For this
reason, chemical compositions of magnetites are used in researches on
the origin and formation of ore deposits. Gökçedoğan Cu-Zn massive
sulfide deposit (VMS) in the Central Pontides is a syngenetic stratiform
deposit observed in metamorphic rocks. The ore paragenesis contains
pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, magnetite, hematite, covellite,
malachite, and goethite respectively. Because of its physicochemical
properties, in-situ laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma
mass-spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis of magnetite in the ore zone was
performed and a new perspective was promoted to the deposit. From
analysis Fe is between 72.06-73.39% and O is between 20.78-21.15%
respectively. V content is approximately higher than the other trace
elements. Analyzes were checked out in both Cu/(Si+Ca)-Al(Zn+Ca) and
Cu/Ca-Al(Si+Zn+Ca) diagrams and it was decided that they exhibit similar
distributions to VMS deposits in the world. In the spider diagram drew
up, it has been showed that Gökçedoğan VMS deposit is close to Besshi
Type Windy Craggy deposit with its high Si values.
