Köppen climate type:
Massive sulfide deposits (cupriferous pyrite ore).
A major north-southerly fault system has been a duct for hydrothermally deposited massive sulfide emplacements along zones of weakness in the basaltic sequence adjoining the eugeosynclinal sediments. The hydrothermal ore solutions caused metasomatic alterations in the basaltoids. These include chloritic alteration, silicification, replacement brecciations, argillic alteration, uralitization, albitization, and calcitization.
The Küre area, a very mountainous terrain, is situated approximately 50 km (road distance 59 km) north of Kastamonu.
Of the three hitherto discovered deposits, two have been mined in
recent time.
The Bakibaba orebodies were exploited extensively by the Greeks, Romans, Genoeses, Byzantines, Seljuks (İsfendiyaroğulları), and Ottomans. Testimony of the ancient works is found in the shape of two million tons of slag lying on the slopes.
