Nigde Massif is the southest part of the CACC (Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex) which is composed of magmatic and metamorphic rocks. Within the massif is antimony mineralization of epithermal origin. According to the trace element geochemistry results of Çamardı (Niğde-Turkey) Sb mineralization. Hierarchical clusters are observed from the dendrograms for trace elements each other, indicating relatively high independency for each cluster. For Sb ore samples, Cd, Sn, Hf, Pb, Sr, In, I, Se, Te, Cs, Ni, Br, Te, Bi, Cu and As are very well correlated with each other and form a cluster which association with Rb, Tl, Nb, Mo, Th,Co, Zr, Zn, Hg, Ga, Ge and Y. La, Ce and W cluster joined only much later. Cd, Sn, Hf, Pb, In, I, Se, Te, Cs, Ni, Br, Te, Bi, Cu and As form the first cluster; Cd, Sn, Hf, Pb, In, I, Se, Te, Cs, Ni, Br, Te, Bi, Cu and As associated as the second cluster and La, Ce and W form the third cluster.
