Turkish Mining Expertise: Tete Mining boasts extensive experience in Turkish mine exploration and development, having operated numerous copper, zinc, and lead projects since 1991.
Focus on Base Metals: Our exploration strategy in Turkey aligns with our global focus on essential base metals like copper, zinc-lead, and chromite.
Past Production Highlights: While some mines have reached depletion, Tete Mining's past operations in Turkey include:
Amasya Cu-Zn-Pb Mine (1991-1992)
Ergani Cu Mine (Open Pit, 1995-2005)
Yomra-Zerbenos Cu-Zn-Pb Deposit (2001-2005)
Strategic Exploration: Tete Mining continues to identify promising areas in Turkey, as evidenced by feasibility studies conducted for mines in locations like Çüngüş (Diyarbakır), Afşin, and Canakkale.
The management and staff have years of experience in this field and currently we are one of the major producer of lead-zinc and copper minerals in Turkey.
Our current focus of exploration is principally in Balkans Region (Albania,Kosovo,Makedonia), Turkey and Central Asia with smaller programs in other highly prospective areas, on basic metal minerals: copper, zinc-lead and chromite.
Copper deposit in Turkey, Tete Company's exploration group has operated copper mines from 1991 and until it ceased operations in 2005 after the deposit was depleted.
