Hisaralan geothermal field is located at the intersection between Simav Graben and İzmir–Balıkesir Transfer Zone (IBTZ). The area is hosted by Early Miocene dacitic and rhyolitic volcanics. Clay mineralogy was investigated for the purpose of identifying the present and fossil hydrothermalsystems. HS–2 drillhole and surface clay mineralogy were examined by XRD, SEM and optical microscopy. R2 I–S and smectite are dominant clay mineral close to the surface while discerete illite and R3 I‐S are the dominant clay minerals at the deeper parts of the geothermal field. The fossil hydrothermal system developed at two stages. Initially, Fe–rich chlorite, calcite and pyrite indicative of propylitic alteration occurred. Subsequently, discrete i...
