The exploration holes were drilled during 2003 in the area to the north of the Hisarcık open-cut mine in Quaternary alluvium of the Kocaçay River. The distance between the two boreholes is about 1.8 km. Borehole 2 is 716 m in depth, and fontarnauite was observed between 530 and 581.5 m depth; borehole 188 (516 m in depth) yielded fontarnauite between 249 and 351.9 m.

Coordinates (latitude/longitude) are for the no. 2 borehole. Boreholes Kütahya-Emet no. 2 (716 m in depth; UTM: 35S 691346/4350558) and no. 188 (516 m in depth; UTM: 35S 691800/4348815)

Emetite, a new sulphate mineral, Ca7Na3K(SO4)9 was described from the boreholes.
