Abstract :Geochemical studies performed in ophiolitic rocks and placers located in three different regions around Konya insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hatıp-Çayırbağı, Altınekin, Yükselen); show that the average Si and Al in both rocks and placers are lower than the earth crust. On the other hand, the average Fe, Cr, Mg, Co, Ni and Ti contents are higher than the average amounts in the earth`s crust. While Cu content of Hatıp-Çayırbağı ophiolitic rocks are at high values, Pb and Zn contents are observed at high values in Altınekin region. While Cr2O3 in Hatıp-Çayırbağı region shows 5 times enrichment in placers compared to rocks, it shows approximately 4 times enrichment in Yükselen region. In the Altınekin region, Au shows five times more enrichment. Rare Earth Elements insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(REE); are highly enriched in all regions. According to the simple correlation and cluster analysis of the components analyzed in all three regions, it is revealed that the examined ophiolitic rocks were formed by similar processes.
