Abstract :In this study, ore deposit investigations were realized using with the geological, geophysical and geochemical methods on the ophiolitic rocks exposed in Bozkır insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Konya); region. Accordingly, samples were taken from the study area to represent the study area and lithology. From the samples taken, operations were performed on 17 stones-6 placers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(stream sediments); samples. These separated samples were sent to Canada for chemical analysis. In geophysical study, Resistivity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Electrical Resistivity); method was preferred in which the changes of the layers in the vertical direction were examined. Aterwards, correlation and regression analysis of the 31 components analyzed were performed in order to interpret the geochemical events in the rocks in the study area. As a result of all the findings, interpretations were made and the study was completed. Working in the fields of electrical geophysical methods on the basis of resistivity levels / units tried to be determined. As a result of the data obtained in Bozkır hydrothermal permeable metal-rich and magnetite-rich altered gabbro and spilite silicified levels were determined formations.
