The Akseki–Kuyucak bauxite deposits, located in the Western Taurus Belt in southwestern Türkiye, represent karst-type bauxite mineralization derived from carbonate platform phases. The carbonate formations seen in the region are mostly composed of Jurassic–Cretaceous large limestones. The intensive karstification processes on this carbonate platform created paleokarstic voids, which were later filled with lateritic weathering products, thereby promoting the formation of karstic bauxite deposits. Karstic bauxite deposits arise from the exposure of carbonate platforms, lateritic weathering in tropical-subtropical climates, and the infilling of karstic voids. Bauxite mineralization in the Akseki–Kuyucak region often occurs as lenses or veins that occupy karstic voids within carbonate formations. Geological map data indicate that bauxite zones have formed specifically at the interfaces between Cretaceous carbonates and Paleocene–Eocene sedimentary strata.
