A Zn-Pb Mine located near the village of Yahyalı in the Zamanti River area. Not to be confused with the Aladağ Chromium mine in the Adana Province.
When I visited this mine in 1987, only secondary minerals were found, no primary sulphides: the oxidation zone is very thick (Erik Vercammen field observations).
