The quarry which is operatıonal since 1860 's .The region is called HARMANCIK DEPOSIT -one of the main chrome ore bases in Turkey in terms of quality and volume. From 1860 to the second world war the mine was operated by German and French investors as a source of high grade (52%-48% CR2O3 ) lumpy chrome ore As per site drilling made in 1941 the quarry is holding probable reserves of high grade lumpy chrome ore.Howewer due to the additıonal drilling requirement the quarry is currently operated as a source of low grade concentrated chrome ore. Due to mild weather conditions the quarry is operational almost 10 months .
