Karakaya is the main ore zone of the KGD for gold mineralization. The listvenitization of serpentinite occurs in the fault-controlled contact zone of granite, and the highest gold grades are measured in the listvenite. The straight and sharp geometry of the contact indicates that it is a tectonic contact. The ore body is approximately 1.5 km long and trends NW-SE, parallel to the Eskişehir Fault. The listvenite is rich in silica and distinguished by its red-brown color from iron hydroxide. The granite is argilized near the contact with the listvenite. There are up to 5 cm thick barren quartz veins that occur in the granite.
