Ergani-Maden

A copper mine. Produced 32,491 metric tons Cu ore yielding 2,158 metric tons of Cu (2nd. quarter, 1947). Ophiolite complex.
Copper mining already started in prehistoric times.

"I visited this mine in 1988 during a guided mineralogical and cultural trip through Turkey. We were told that during the operations old tunnels were found, probably from Roman times. In these tunnels were efflorescences and crusts, post-mining formation. There was even speculation if this mine wasn't the place where 'pisanite' (cuprian melanterite) was found for the first time.

The local name is Ergani Maden: 'maden' is a word that means both 'mine' and 'mineral'. I suppose this word comes from the Arabic language, as 'Almaden' (literally 'The Mine') is the name of the old and famous mercury mine in Spain." Erik Vercammen observations (1988).
