Mining Operations
In addition to the our own licensed mining sites, Demir Export A.Ş. also conducts mining activities in sites licensed to the public or to other individuals and entities. In this regard, one of our company’s most important activities has been iron ore production since our founding.
The iron ores we produce in our mines are at a quality suitable to directl charge into blast furnaces. We offer iron ores that can be used at integrated iron and steel mills in Turkey.
Apart from iron ore production, another major mining activity is copper ore concentrate production, in the Eastern Black Sea region, and processing(flotation) of run-of-mine. 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 districts of Bursa province. The high-grade chromite ore produced in from open pit and underground operations is directly sold as lumpy, and the low grade chromite ore is enriched using gravitational methods, after which high grade chromite concentrates are exported abroad.
