This study focuses on porphyry-type prospects in the Eastern Pontides.
Porphyry type mineralization events in the belt were formed between about 133 to 76 Ma.
Three different time intervals were responsible for the formation of porphyry type mineralizations.
Subduction related calc-alkaline magmatism has a high potential for the evolved porphyry Cu-Mo systems.
Highly- oxidized mantle derived magma could play a role in the formation of Cu-Mo±Au bearing porphyry type mineralization.
