Bolkar Mountains, also known as Bulgar Dagh[1] or Bolghar Dagh,[2] are a mountain range situated in the middle part of the Taurus mountains complex in southern Turkey bounded by the Göksu River to the west and the Pozantı River to the east.
In the early 20th-century, the mountains were noted as having large amounts of lead.
As of 1920 it was still producing lead as a Turkish government ran enterprise.
The gold and silver findings were sent to Istanbul for smelting.
