The iron ores produced in the iron mines are at a quality suitable to directly charging blast furnaces. We offer iron ores that can be used at integrated iron and steel factories in Turkey.

Apart from iron ore production, another major mining activity is copper ore concentrate production, ongoing in the Eastern Black Sea region, and the enrichment process of produced ores (flotation). The produced copper concentrate is exported abroad.

In addition, the lumpy and concentrates of chrome ore are produced in mining sites in the Harmancık and Orhaneli regions of Bursa province. The high-grade chrome ore produced in open pit and underground mining facilities is directly sold as lumpy, and the low-grade chrome ore is enriched into chrome concentrate, all of which are exported abroad.

In our open and underground mining facilities, we apply an exemplary business management approach in Turkey, and our enrichment facilities, which were established to increase marketing possibilities for our produced ores, are positioned to respond to the needs of modern technology.
